    Apple has just announced a number of new accessibility features coming to the iPhone, iPad and Mac:

    apple.com/uk/newsroom/2023/05/

    There are some impressive-seeming innovations for blind and low-vision users, and the ability to create a voice trained on your own speech patterns could be a lifesaver for people with degenerative conditions like ALS

    But the highlight for me is the new support for people with cognitive disabilities, who haven’t perhaps been served so well by Apple up to now – this is a welcome first step 🙌

    And I was very pleased to read that Apple will be highlighting the advocacy work of Autistic non-speaker and AAC user Jordyn Zimmerman 💜
