After the success of Workshops on Android Accessibility for the blind, NAB Delhi will be hosting series of sessions on iPhone accessibility. Apple products - iPhone, iPad, iPod are widely regarded to be very accessible and useful devices for the blind and low vision all over the world. In India also many visually impaired persons have started using these devices and many more are planning to purchase it.
The objective of these sessions is to bring together experienced users of Apple devices to share their learnings with those who have either bought such a device recently or are seriously contemplating switching to this platform. We hope that the participants of this session will be able to make better use of their iOS devices for communication, entertainment and independent living.
If you have been using the iOS devices for a long time and if you would like to share your experience then you are invited to this session. Please register yourself and indicate any specific topics or apps you would like to talk about.
 
Those who have purchased iPhone or iPad recently or are seriously planning to buy one in the near future are also invited to the session. Please register early; we can accommodate only 25 entries.
