Accessible Apps Corner
The proliferation of downloadable applications for smartphones over the past year has created new opportunities for people with physical or cognitive limitations, including:
1. enhanced accessibility of mobile devices, and
2. expanded ability to engage in daily activities through the use of smartphones (usually using the smartphone's built-in GPS or motion-detecting accelerometer)
This page serves as a central repository of our coverage of accessible apps. Please let us know how we can continue to build out our coverage of accessible apps!
