Apple Accessibility 101 - 18 & 25 November 2022 (SOLD OUT)
Have you wondered about the built-in settings in your Apple devices, and how they can help the people you work with? This two-part workshop will provide an overview of iPad and iPhone accessibility settings and their potential suitability for people OTs may work with, including people with literacy, cognitive, vision and physical impairments. Two sessions will be run on the 18 & 25 November 2022 from 11am to 12.30pm (AEDT). The workshop will be applied, relating the information to typical user scenarios. Live and video demonstrations will help you understand how the settings are used, and you will be guided through basic setup and customisation options. You will have the opportunity to practise along with your own device. Resources will be provided for further information and detail.
