Abstract

My interest in accessibility began back in 2010 while I was the manager of a small Apple reseller. A great privilege of working in technology retail is that you get to meet a vast range of people at different stages in their technology journey. Some customers ask original questions that take a great deal of research to find the right answer. Others have never touched anything you or I might call a “computer” before and are starting at the very beginning.
