FYI



The Verizon Consumer Accessibility Team will be conducting its first Verizon 
In-Store Accessibility Workshop to be held at the Verizon retail location in 
East Brunswick, NJ (323 NJ Route 18) on Wednesday, August 21, 2019 from 
2:00-3:00.  Our workshop is open to individuals who are Blind and visually 
impaired (preferably with little or no prior experience with the iPhone???s 
accessibility features); and/or, Individuals that know, care for, or 
influence individuals with a vision impairment.  Our in-store workshop will 
provide a hands-on demonstration of the iPhone???s built-in accessibility 
features and showcase how these accessibility tools may be used to navigate 
mobile websites, such as the Verizon Wireless mobile site, as well as using 
them in everyday tasks.  The goal of our workshop is to introduce and 
educate both individuals with and without disabilities to the accessibility 
features available on the iPhone and provide a session where participants 
can ask questions and give feedback on how Verizon can improve its overall 
accessibility.



Our hope is that participants will leave our workshop with a working 
Knowledge of using the iPhone in conjunction with its built-in accessibility 
features, including Voiceover, and Zoom; and most importantly, we hope to 
gain valuable feedback from the community about the workshop, including how 
to improve future workshops.



Anyone wishing to attend can contact Paul Daye at 
(paul.daye at verizonwireless.com<mailto:paul.daye at verizonwireless.com>) by 
August 16, 2019.  Please note that space at the workshop will be limited to 
5-8, and iPhone???s will be provided for use during the workshop; however, 
participants may feel free to bring their own.  Additionally, Android users 
are welcome to contact us as we plan to provide workshops on android???s 
accessibility features as well.
