Love it. We often use built in features and 'tricks' in MS Word and Excel to achieve AT outcomes for my 8yo. Pretty sure there used to be morse code options in one of the old MS Word versions back in the day of DOS... could have done with them keeping that in just about now LOL. As an aside... an accessibility campaign I am keen to get running is with restaurants to provide an option for blended meals for those with difficulty with eating. My son is more you 'gourmet puree' kind of kid rather than a 'nuggets & fries dude'. I hope to start local then just add it to the list for 'UD global domination'... thx Gina Great article… Love it.
