I think the real problem is we don't care about handicapped people.
This is where the govt should step in and fund startups building for these groups because these will never be venture scale but are really important for the world and all the people who aren't as lucky.

There has been a lot of work put into making apps and operating systems accessible. One of my friends has been using screen readers since he was a child and his ability to navigate modern OSes and apps is truly impressive.

Granted, somebody ought to step up to the plate here. The govt. or third sector.-
