Hi, There wasn't any mention of accessibility in the biography at all, but then again, hardly any of the individual features of osx or iOs were mentioned iether. The opinion that I have is that whilst he probably had little to no involvement in accessibility, its because of him that it works so well - he probably saw a few bits here and there and gave them his blessing or dismissed them.
