My first thought would be to look in the Touch setings. You'll find that button in the accessibility settings and it leads to a large group of options which sound to me like what you want. You can change how gestures work and do other things related to touch screen difficulties. I don't know where you get the special control switches but imagine they'd be on Amazon among other places. The Apple store would certainly have at least one or two types in their accessories but they tend to sell things more expensively than elsewhere. Hope that helps a bit.
