This is also reported in bug #146918 as part of a bigger bug report
generally about the usability of the Sessions preferences. I have a
couple of comments on this particular problem there.
I would respectfully suggest that the priority of this bug should
perhaps be raised, seeing as clear, understandable, unambiguous, short,
jargon-free labels would be especially important for users who actually
require assistance.
Is the Sessions preference really necessary? Concretely, I think it's
problematic and confusing to have two places where you can turn off
assistive technologies. If you uncheck this thingy in the Sessions
preference, will the assistive technology requested by the user in the
AT prefs fail to run?
I'm not a native speaker, so I might be out on a limb here, but to me,
"Assistive Technology" is not a very transparent term, either. If the
pref is still needed, could the label be made even clearer with
something like
[x] Visual Assistance
Start the preferred Assistive Technology (screen reader, magnifier, etc)
Note the addition of "Assistance" to the short headline. That alone
might even be enough of a clarification that the parenthesis in the
extended description might not be necessary.

Session entry refers to "the preferred AT" (the what?)
