Huh?

By Peter Green

Apple Computer participates on several online information services in order to disseminate information and promote discussion about Macintosh assistive technology. While every online service has its own character and approach to disability content, one thing is consistent among the services listed below: they all offer the most current information from Apple Computer about Macintosh disability solutions.

eWorld

eWorld features "The Disability Connection," a full resource area containing various databases (AbleData, RehabData, Macintosh Disability Resources), magazines and journals (Ability Network Magazine, Parents Let's Unite for Kids Newsletter, Repetitive Strain Injury News, etc.), and information resource kits (about Attention Deficit Disorder, Inclusion, and the Americans with Disabilities Act info. among other topics). The Disability Connection, which is sponsored by Apple, also features lively message boards and real-time conferencing about disability issues.

AppleLink

The "Disability Solutions" forum on AppleLink contains information relating to assistive technology.
