v. Universal Access:
Switching on “Always Show Universal Access Menu” adds the little man icon in the system tray. Selecting it shows:
High Contrast Setting:
Large Text:
Cursor Size options:
On the plus side, no more fiddly tweaking, on the down side the pointers have shadows and no way of changing the colour scheme so you may well need to install a cursor theme from gnome-look.org! But still, a big improvement. (Side note: The Settings GUI was discovered by the author in Fedora 27 Workstation!)
Zoom Options - Magnifier:
Crosshairs option:
Zoom option: Colo(u)r effects;
Screen Reader (Orca):
Sound Keys:

Typing Assist (Access X):
Pointing & Clicking: Mouse Keys;
Enabling mouse keys means that your cursor keys act as your mouse, or alternatively, keys 1,4,8 and 6 on the Numberpad act as your mouse if Numlock is off.
Click Assist:
Hover Click: When this option is turned on, you have 4 options as to what the hover action should do;
Double-click delay: This is to allow someone with motor issues who takes longer to double-click than normal so that a delay won’t prevent a folder or file from opening.
