Event Overview
When our colleges and universities went fully online in response to the pandemic, most (if not all) classroom materials were delivered digitally. The availability of digital formats provided valuable flexibility for delivering educational content in a variety of ways. However, it also made it glaringly apparent that, in addition to accessible materials, students need to address a variety of executive functioning issues: organizational skills, planning and prioritization, self-monitoring, and task initiation. Fortunately, most students have access to mobile devices and use them to access the curriculum and complete assignments. We must leverage those devices by both customizing them and using their built-in accessibility features to support diverse learners. In this presentation, we will cover the accessibility features available on Apple products and apps that students and educators can use to support student success.

Learning Objectives
Participants will be able to:
 - Identify the capacities and contributions of standard features on Apple Products regarding the needs of the widest possible range of learners and creators. 
 - Outline an educational structure that empowers undergraduate students to select and employ the software which suits their needs most closely and supports maximum productivity and creativity in their academic career

Please note: Apple sessions are not recorded.
