Watch our YouTube videos featuring some of Australia’s best-known disability advocates talking about the technologies and apps that have changed their lives as well as their daily frustrations of dealing with websites and apps that haven’t been made accessible to people with disability.

The videos underline the reason why ACCAN and Telstra are partnering to hold the M-Enabling Australasia 2013 conference – making mobile technologies accessible for people with disability and older consumers. The conference takes place on Wednesday 14 – Thursday 15 August in Sydney.
