The book you want is on Bookshare. You may also want to go to
www.applevis.com
which has a new section just for those who are new to the iPhone. National Braille Press has several books, the newest by Johnathon Mosen on the IOS8 operating system. I'd do the apple vis site first.

Hello,

I do not know about the book, but you might find the following useful.

Hadley School for the Blind has done some seminars called iFocus. Just search IFocus on their site, hadley.edu. If you have any vision, these seminars are also on YouTube. On January 21 they are having a seminar to talk about accessible apps.

Take care.

Because I would be anesthetized for the procedure the dentist requested that someone accompany me for this visit. This is standard procedure for any patient undergoing a procedure requiring anesthetization so it's not a blindness thing. Since I would not be in a position to manage Johnny during the procedure I asked Mary to stay with him until I woke up and was able to manage him myself. We took cabs too and from the dentist's office again something highly recommended for patients requiring anesthesia for their procedure. This was the only dental visit when I needed to arranged to have Johnny supervised while my teeth were being extracted.
