[NJTechDiv] still working on the iphone

[Serena Cucco]

Hi Ken,

I have no idea how many times one has to wait to unlock the phone wafter
entering the wrong passcode too many times, but the AppleVis community
could help.  It's a website for blind people to get help with their Apple
products.  Creating an account is easy.

Regarding self-advocacy with your sister, I've heard stories like yours way
too many times!  I don't know how close you feel towards your chapter
president, but, maybe, he/she could talk to you and your sister on a Zoom
call or other technology some time.  Sometimes, two voices are better than
one when dealing with people who don't understand blindness.  Good luck!

Serena
