I’m sure that although the accessibility features were not mentioned I’m certain there will be functional improvements as a whole on iPhone 5. I’ll try to get a hold of one (time for a Verizon upgrade) and fill you in here!

Unfortunately I have not seen one in person yet, but if it’s anything like my iPad HD it is amazing. Will take a look and play and get back to you!

Personally, I’ve impressed with Proloquo2Go for my sister who has CP and has communication difficulties. The other programs that are worth a look are InClass, Notes Plus, and Dragon Dictation.
