Welcome back to another episode of AccessWorld, a podcast on digital inclusion and accessibility. In this, our second episode, we take a deep dive into the latest update for Apple IOS 17. We’re excited to have AccessWorld frequent contributors Janet Ingber and Judy Dixon, who break down the mainstream updates and new accessibility features for IOS-17 users. Check out their posts on the AFB blog for more information.

We also wrap up National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM), with a reminder that inclusion in the workplace continues to be something worth having on our radar year round. AccessWorld has a wealth of articles in back issues that spotlight employment in the tech field as well as in other careers. So, don’t forget that you can access for free every issue of AccessWorld going back to the year 2000.

We close out the episode with a sneak peak of what’s in the upcoming issue of AccessWorld, which will drop later this month.
