Recap for LightHouse Technology Seminar on Apple Accessibility

75 technology enthusiasts attended the LightHouse Technology Seminar on June 11th to learn more about the latest universal access features on Apple's products,
including the iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch and OS X VoiceOver. 
 
Apple representatives discussed the out-of-the-box, assistive technology solutions which make the iPad and other Apple products a truly viable option for
blind and visually impaired users. What's really interesting is that whether you are low vision or blind, you can now make calls, text, send emails and
use other Apple applications without purchasing additional software.  

Though we are unable to provide a podcast of this seminar, you can refer to the following resources for the information that was discussed. 

For further Information:
