Disabled Access

the law

    The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires that employers make whatever modifications are necessary to allow persons with disabilities to perform jobs. Different operating systems have different capabilities to support different disabilities.

blind

     In Macintosh OS X the keyboard can be used to access the menu bar, the dock, palettes, toolbars, and window controls.

deaf

     In Macintosh OS X and Macintosh the system alert sound can be replaced by having the menu bar flash.

motor impaired

     Macintosh OS X has Sticky Keys (a system wide control panel) and Mouse Keys (a system wide control panel). Also the keyboard can be used to access the menu bar, the dock, palettes, toolbars, and window controls.

    A web site on dozens of operating systems simply can’t be maintained by one person. This is a cooperative effort. If you spot an error in fact, grammar, syntax, or spelling, or a broken link, or have additional information, commentary, or constructive criticism, please e-mail Milo. If you have any extra copies of docs, manuals, or other materials that can assist in accuracy and completeness, please send them to Milo, PO Box 1361, Tustin, CA, USA, 92781.
