45     <title>Overview</title>
46      <para>
47        GNOME provides support for accessibility devices using the ATK
48        framework. This framework defines a set of interfaces to which
49        graphical interface components adhere. This allows, for instance,
50        screen readers to read the text of an interface and interact with its
51        controls. ATK support is built into GTK+ and the rest of the GNOME
52        platform, so any application using GTK+ will have reasonable
53        accessibility support for free.
54      </para>
55
56      <para>
57      Nonetheless, you should be aware of accessibility issues when when
58      developing your applications. Although GTK+ interfaces provide
59      reasonable accessibility by default, you can often improve how well
60      your program behaves with accessibility tools by providing additional
61      information to ATK. If you develop custom widgets, you should ensure
62      that they expose their properties to ATK
