Developing an Accessible Application

Designing your application with accessibility in mind not only allows you to reach a larger group of users, it results in a better experience for all your users. You’ve already made the design decision to develop an application that runs in Mac OS X. Now, make sure you can deliver the Macintosh experience to all your users.

This chapter describes some of the things you should consider when developing your application. If your application includes support for the accessibility-related features this chapter describes, it will be even easier to access-enable.

Although this chapter is of most use to developers who are in the design phase of an application, it presents information about accessibility concerns all developers should know.
