Hi Colin The individual concerned isn't blind, so VoiceOver doesn't really matter in this case. I'll try the assistive touch setting and see how it goes down with the teacher. I still believe that a four-year-old would struggle with an iPad, as it is basically not a child's tool. Gordon On

Hi Chris I actually suggested this type of scenario to her. But remember that we are dealing with a four-year-old boy here, and his speech is doubtless not yet fully developed. Gordon On 30 Nov 2012, at 13:08, Chris Moore moor...@blueyonder.co.uk wrote: You could also use Siri to open apps

I agree actually. But this child is in primary care and it isn't really my call. I'm just answering questions. I don't want to turn this thread into a morality discussion. But for the record, if it were me I would be saying wait till you grow up. I actually think this is more the problem

Plus there is the new setting where you can do just how quickly the home button response to a keypress. Think I'll love these new settings would make the iPad very usable. On Nov 30, 2012, at 8:08 AM, Chris Moore moor...@blueyonder.co.uk wrote: You could also use Siri to open apps and perhaps

I know there are some apps that help with these issues as well. Iv'e heard about them, but I'm not a disability specialist so am of no help here. I can ask around though and see what I can come up with. Good luck. On Nov 30, 2012, at 5:48 AM, Timothy J. Meloy tme...@fuse.net wrote: Plus
