Abstract

Welcome to the Accessibility Handbook.
This book covers the assistive technologies available in FreeBSD.

Accessibility is an ongoing effort, not a fixed destination.
As such, this handbook is a living document and continually evolving.
Contributions, suggestions, and feedback are highly encouraged.
If you are interested in contributing, please reach out to us via the https://lists.freebsd.org/subscription/freebsd-accessibility[FreeBSD accessibility mailing list].

You can download this book in various formats and compression options from the FreeBSD download server or one of its many mirror sites.
