Accessibility Support

Apple offers a variety of built-in tools and technologies that help people with disabilities get the most from their Mac, iPad, iPod, or iPhone.

Every Mac comes equipped with dozens of assistive technologies — many of which you won’t find in other operating systems at any price. And with the development of universal access features for iPhone, iPad, and iPod, Apple is taking these technologies to a new level.

Third parties have developed a wide range of hardware and software products for Mac customers with special needs.

You can find a variety of hardware and software products (sold separately) that adapt iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch for special needs. Look for the “Made for iPhone,” “Made for iPod,” and “Made for iPad” logos to identify compatible products.

Standards issued by the Board under Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act cover access to electronic and information technology procured by Federal agencies. These standards are part of the Federal government’s procurement regulations.
