Phones for people w/ Disabilities
I worked with people with various disabilities.
I am always getting calls to identify cell
technology that is accessible for people with
disabilities.
Do you know of any cell phones currently on the market that have larger screen or ability to magnify text, or have auditory feedback when you depress a button (phone voices what was pushed)
