Have you investigated Chromebook's accessibility support and compatibly with AT recently? If so, would you mind sharing this information with me? I personally have very little experience with Chromebooks and am trying to help a colleague out whose college is
interested in purchasing them for students to use in the classroom and for schoolwork. Below is the list of items he hopes to research and test, it is quite extensive. Any insight or help this community can provide is greatly appreciated! Thanks, Monica</div>
