Welcome

Welcome to iAccessibility! We have rearranged the top menu to bring back all of the articles from the original iAccessibility Report, and we will continue to offer articles in this format. We apologize for making it difficult to get to this content, but it has been fixed. We will also be providing new and more detailed content on Apple releases and iOS apps, along with information about other operating systems and their apps.

ACB Link is intuitive, easy to use, and fully accessible with VoiceOver, Apple’s screen reader built into iOS.

The American Council of the Blind (ACB) was founded in 1961 but many of its state affiliates and local chapters have a history that can be traced back to the 1880s. Since its inception, ACB and its affiliates have been at the forefront in advocating for programs and policies that have created the opportunities blind and visually impaired Americans now enjoy. The American Council of the Blind believes in the acceptance of all blind persons irrespective of where they are in their adjustment to blindness. We value every person for their individual strengths, abilities, and accomplishments, and we look forward to seeing ACB Link serve as a further vehicle of communication and interaction among all members of the ACB community and among those with questions and concerns about sight loss.
