+[[intended-audience]]
+== Intended Audience
+
+This handbook is intended for anyone interested in the assistive technologies available in the FreeBSD operating system.
+Users and administrators can learn how to configure the system for accessibility.
+Developers will find resources and guidance to help them create, improve, and test accessible software.
+
+[[organization-book]]
+== Organization of this Book
+
+This book is organized into sections, chapters, and paragraphs, all of which can be read independently and out of order.
+The first section, _crossref:parti[parti-general,Part I. General]_, provides guidance on how to seek help and includes various miscellaneous topics.
+The second section, _crossref:partii[partii-vision,Part II. Vision]_, focuses on assistive technologies for visual accessibility;
+It is intentionally free of images to maximize accessibility
+All sections and chapters are self-contained and can be read in any order.

+[[commands]]
+== Commands
+
+FreeBSD offers a powerful command line interface that enables users to execute a wide range of text commands to set up and use the operating system.
+This Handbook, like all official FreeBSD documentation, follows these command prompt conventions:
+
+- A command preceded by `%` can be executed by any regular user.
+- A command preceded by `#` must be executed by the `root` user (the system administrator).
+
