Update on Accessiblity on the Mac

Joe Clark wrote an update on accessiblity on the Mac platform in this week’s issue of TidBits.

Apple has made some small steps with Mac OS X; we’ve seen some movement in the world of multimedia; I finally managed to find some statistics on numbers of users with disabilities. But adaptive technology for Macs remains ill-developed compared to the enormous Windows market. Since the first article series was published, I was unable to find any news of significant upgrades to Macintosh adaptive technology or new plans for Mac OS X compatibility. If it’s happening, adaptive-technology vendors, whom I specifically asked for updates, are not talking.
