Education
In Disability Awareness Month, we spoke with Lisa Berghoff, an experienced special education teacher, about how technology impacts students with disabilities in classrooms.
Accessibility
We have always worked to ease the navigation process in the digital world for people with disabilities. Today, we also want to help individuals access the information and services they need.
Maps
Voice guidance in Google Maps, designed for visually impaired individuals, helps everyone navigate with ease and comfort.
Accessibility
The Action Blocks app is a new application that helps users with cognitive disabilities simplify daily tasks on Android devices.

Android
If it has a voice, it can now include written captions; Live Caption was launched on the Pixel 4, and there are plans to support more devices and languages in the near future.
Making Support Available
