About this tool
What it does
Assistive Access is a simplified iPhone interface designed specifically for people with intellectual disabilities, cognitive impairments, or developmental conditions who want to use a smartphone independently. Rather than presenting the full complexity of iOS, it creates a customized home screen with just essential apps and contacts, large easy-to-tap icons, and straightforward navigation paths.
Who it's for
People with intellectual disabilities or cognitive impairment who want to use an iPhone independently with a greatly simplified interface.
