French term or phrase: Les TIC qui "braille" haut et fort

This is the title of an article about making Information and Communication Technology more accessible for the disabled. My attempts are "ICT speaks up for Braille" and "ICT makes Braille stand out". I'd be grateful for opinions and other suggestions.

The idea of being all-inclusive.
