The iPad, which has a number of accessible features including the VoiceOver screen reader and captioned video, means that people who are blind or vision impaired could have the e-books read out to them during the flight, and people who are hearing impaired could potentially have closed captions available on the movies and TV shows. However, Jetstar is yet to confirm if the video will be captioned.
Like the iPhone, the iPad contains a number of accessibility features for people with disabilities who want to do things like use the web, send e-mail, listen to music and read e-books.
Accessibility features include the VoiceOver screen reader, zoom, adjustable colour contrast, captioned video and the ability to output the audio to one ear.

The focus on resilience for both students and teachers was of keen interest to the conference. The development of resilience in students who are Deaf or have hearing impairment has many positive and lifelong benefits. The conference presentations looked at these issues from several angles.
