Description

For 40 years, Apple has championed accessibility and inclusion, designing products that people with disabilities to create, communicate and do what they love every day. With accessibility as a core company value, Apple teams conduct their work with a shared conviction: that accessibility drives innovation, and that when you design with accessibility in mind, you make a better product for everyone. In a fireside chat with Valuable 500 founder Caroline Casey, Apple’s accessibility leader Sarah Herrlinger will draw on more than two decades of experience at the company to share how Apple teams infuse accessibility across the entire ecosystem of hardware, software and services; what it means to have accessibility built-in from the start; and why representation and deep collaboration with disability communities inside and outside of Apple is crucial for innovation.
