Sensory Concerns in Adobe Software Such as Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, and Acrobat

Below is a letter that I have written to Adobe based on sensory considerations for their software. If you have issues with adobe software, please email them and let them know!

To Whom it May Concern,

I am emailing you on behalf of The International Misophonia Foundation (and Misophonia International), a non-profit based in Missouri. As an advocate for this disorder, as well as a clinician, I have several concerns about adobe products and their accessibility features (and lackthereof) for persons with sensory disorders or neurological disorders such as misophonia, sensory processing disorder, ADHD, epilepsy, and autism. At present, all Adobe products including Acrobat, Indesign, Illustrator and Photoshop, do not allow for Windows settings such as not having a blinking cursor. Ignoring these accessibility features is disheartening. Reduced motion of buttons and features is another problem we often face. Right now, the main issue in the Adobe software is ignoring Windows keyboard settings and overriding with a blinking cursor.

PLEASE CONSIDER CHANGING THIS TO HELP OUR COMMUNITY.

Sincerely,

Shaylynn Hayes-Raymond
