This document discusses inclusive technology and its benefits. Inclusive technology refers to technologies that can help people with a wide range of challenges, from blindness to dyslexia. Examples include mobile phones, iPads, and laptops. The key difference from assistive technology is that inclusive technology uses tools that everyone has access to. This has advantages in that no one knows you need assistive features, you don't need to purchase special equipment, and it's easier to get help with tools everyone uses. The document then directs readers to explore accessibility features on the iPad like text-to-speech that demonstrate inclusive technologies.
