Apple has announced that starting this fall its Everyone Can Code curricular for Swift will be taught at schools supporting students with vision, hearing or other assistive needs.Apple says it collaborated with engineers, educators, and programmers from various accessibility communities to make Everyone Can Code as accessible as possible and will work in close coordination with schools to augment the curricula as needed. The company will also provide additional tools and resources such as tactile maps to enhance the understanding of coding environments for non-visual learners.
“Apple’s mission is to make products as accessible as possible,” said Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO. “We created Everyone Can Code because we believe all students deserve an opportunity to learn the language of technology. We hope to bring Everyone Can Code to even more schools around the world serving students with disabilities.”
