Accessibility with Apple

Apple products are designed with features to empower students of all abilities.

Apple believes every student has the right to a quality education — an education that’s creative, collaborative, engaging and relevant. And technology can enable and allow all students, with every type of learning style, to explore and open new doors to possibilities.

Everyone has the right to a quality education.

Apple’s approach to accessibility is different from many other companies. Accessibility is part of the hardware, software and operating system design process so it’s an integral element of the user experience. The breadth and depth of accessibility features have been built to address a wide array of special needs and help students who experience challenges with vision, hearing, motor skills, and learning and literacy. At Jawraa, we are committed to empowering educators and students to harness the full potential of Apple technology. Our Apple Professional Learning Specialists provide expert guidance to seamlessly integrate Apple's powerful accessibility features, ensuring an inclusive, innovative, and effective learning experience. Partner with us to transform your educational environment and drive meaningful impact.

Explore built-in iPad accessibility features that support all learners

Live Text

Students can select text to copy or translate and perform tasks like opening a website right from a photo or paused video.

Spoken Content

iPad can read the entire screen or a selection of text. It can also highlight words, sentences — or both — as they’re spoken.

VoiceOver

This industry-leading screen reader gives audible descriptions of what’s onscreen to help students navigate using a Bluetooth ® keyboard or simple gestures on a touchscreen.

Magnifier

Increase the size of any physical object you point iPad at, such as a lunch menu or notes on a whiteboard, to make text easier to read.

Guided Access

Restrict a device to a single app and control which features are available. Turn off hardware buttons or areas of the screen, and limit how long students can use the app.

Assistive 

If certain gestures, like pinch or two-finger tap, don’t work, use AssistiveTouch to swap them with a gesture that does.
