Users can Like the Facebook Access for People with Disabilities page to stay up to date on accessibility work and improvements, visit the Facebook Accessibility Help Center, and follow the Facebook Accessibility Team on Twitter.

Much the same way as most screen readers offer single-key navigation shortcuts to help you quickly find your way around a webpage, Facebook offers a number of single-key commands to perform various actions.
