Design process for accessibility features?

Question

Hello all,
I'm wondering if anyone might know where I can find some insight into how the iPad - specifically the accessibility features - was designed. I've found some speculation and one interview with a designer, but does Apple itself make its design process public? Or is it all proprietary?
I hope this is the right forum - I scoured the website for a more appropriate one, but couldn't find it.

Basically it's all proprietary. Apple tends to be very secretive about their design process. The available features are easily found:
http://www.apple.com/ipad/features/accessibility.html
and some general information:
http://www.apple.com/accessibility/
but how Apple decided what specifically to address in a given product and how they approached it generally won't get discussed in public. If you are a media representative working on a story, you might try Apple's PR department and see if they can provide insight or connect you with someone who can:

but if you're enquiring as a private citizen, there's not much you're likely to be able to discover.
As to the forum, there really isn't a particular forum for these sorts of questions, since the Discussions are for technical support issues. This forum is as good as any, and the Hosts probably will allow the thread to remain as long as it doesn't become a poll or a complaint thread.
Regards.
