The exact command is xfconf-query -c xfce4-session -p /general/StartAssistiveTechnologies -n -t bool -s true. XFCE stores it settings in categories called channels and each setting is called a property. In this command, c specifies the channel, p specifies the property, -s sets the property, -t specifies the type of the property and n specifies to create a new property. The property actually is not created in xfce's configs until the box is checked in the gui (if it does not exist xfce assumes it is false) which is why we have to create it in the command as opposed to just changing its value. One problem I found with this method, however, is that if trying to run without x going, the following error is displayed. Failed to init libxfconf: Unable to autolaunch a dbus-daemon without a $DISPLAY for X11. One way to possibly get around this would be to set the property manually in xml files since this is how xfce stores the settings. they are stored at ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml. The file is called xfce4-settings and the property is set like this in the general category in the file. <property name="StartAssistiveTechnologies" type="bool" value="true"/>
