A6 How do we prepare young people who struggle with computers to be ready for the workforce? Tools like MyMorphic are an excellent place to start. Plus education, education, *patience* and more education. #AXSChat #SDGs #MyMorphic #RuhGlobal @RuhGlobal @AXSChat
A6 Until Sept 30, 2021: Anyone can sign up for Morphic’s Early Feedback Program and receive a #FREE Plus subscription for life. #AXSChat #MyMorphic morphic.org/notify/

Q6 We use the term digital natives for younger generations but barriers remain for many young persons with disabilities and other disenfranchised youth. How can we better prepare young people who struggle with computers to be ready for the workforce? #AXSChat #SDGs #MyMorphic
A6 Computer interfaces can be very different from mobile devices. Folks who are efficient on mobile can be lost when they first encounter computers. Morphic's Plus subscription creates a customized MorphicBar that quickly launches apps, webpages, and #a11y features. #AXSChat

A5 Morphic can help provide a much simpler interface that gives refugees access to key things they need - and provide a stepping stone to learning how to use computers. #AXSChat #MyMorphic 2/2
A5 Many refugees come from countries that primarily use mobile devices. When refugees need to use computers, they find them completely different. Others have no personal device and need to use public computers. #AXSChat 1/2
Q5 Refugees with and without disabilities need access to technology to help them stabilize and rebuild their lives. However, many cannot use computers due to language, disability, or lack of familiarity. What solutions can we offer these refugees? #AXSChat #SDGs #MyMorphic
That's one reason why Morphic is working with organizations like American Job Centers and AT Centers to help reduce these barriers to access. #AXSChat
Another is the web access complex that assumes people have the ability/desire to acquire (often with cost), install and learn assistive tech. Those who do not are left marginalized and discriminated against by the very standards that are meant to include them.

A4 For people who use AT but don’t own their own computer: setting up their preferences every single time they use a shared computer can be difficult and time consuming - that is a digital divide. #DigitalDivide #AXSChat #DigitalInclusion
A4 For people who have disabilities that impact their memory, executive function, or mental health (among others): when technology is constantly evolving and becoming more complex - simple and stable interfaces are hard to find. That is a #DigitalDivide. #AXSChat
A4 For people who can only use the designated "special" computer upstairs or in a resource room: when their group of friends or the class they need to take is located in the main floor lab - that is a digital divide. #AXSChat #DigitalDivide
Yes - Gregg and his team/collaborators' work in the field of ICT and accessibility helped make those builtin features possible! #HumbleBrag #AXSChat
Exactly! Talking about Morphic: “It’s easy to turn things on and off in the moment. You don’t need to dig into the computer to find things.”

A1 Not everybody is tech savvy. Having a tool that can help highlight accessibility features is especially useful for non-tech users and some people who have disabilities, particularly if they don't have a devoted PC. #AXSChat #RuhGlobal @RuhGlobal @AXSChat #MyMorphic
A3 We know not all #AT companies allow users to use a single license on different computers, but they increasingly do - and Morphic is working to increase the number. #AXSChat #DigitalEquity #TechForGood #MyMorphic
A3 A key feature of Morphic is, whenever possible, to allow users’ licenses to follow them to any computer they use with Morphic installed on it. Morphic is free, so we hope it will be a practical solution to install everywhere. Then, people can use their AT licenses. #AXSChat
Q3 When people who need AT don't have easy access to their preferred software/settings it prevents them from participating in society. How can we assure everyone has access to the Assistive Technology they need when they do not have multiple licenses? #AXSChat #SDGs #MyMorphic
Imagine all the possibilities once that barrier is removed. Morphic is free to install, so your settings can easily transfer from one computer to another. #AXSChat #a11y
A2 Allowing users to chose their own configuration is not just a case of preference it may be the difference between being able to use technology or not. Allowing customization is a key part of #accessibility. Having your settings follow you is even better. #axschat

A2 Users need Flexibility & choice because we do not live in a world that is static, we are always changing & going so our tech needs to adapt too, universal access is what we need! #AXSChat #RuhGlobal #BillionStrong @BillionStrong1 @RuhGlobal @AXSChat #SDGs #MyMorphic @MyMorphic
A2 Morphic can save the setup of your personal computer - and then apply it to other computers you encounter at school, the library, the office, etc. #MyMorphic #AXSChat #DigitalEquity #TechForGood
