Hi Kendell,
Thanks a million for all the patient answers.
Basically I am planning a serious shift because Unity although totally 
accessible, is very heavy on memory and Gnome is having issues with 
things like notification and file searching, although it looks good and 
proffessional.
So with the given accessibility of Mate which people have been praising 
so much, I thought I will shift for a couple of months and then look 
again at Ubuntu 16.04 with Gnome 3.18 if it has become any more
Now I would really like to know from all Mate users about the difference 
or improvements of accessibility between 1.10 and 1.12?
accessible.
If the changes or improvements are not huge then I will not upgrade to 
1.12, else will do so.
I am particularly keen on wifi or other similar notifications, file 
search, alt+ tabbing between applications, access to menus and also panels.
I am as I had mentioned before, going to start a big training course for 
blind students so I must make a proper choice.
happy hacking.
