[nobe-l] Question: iOS Voiceover for beginner child

[Heather Field]

Hello,
Have you shown your student the tactile diagrams of the iPad screen which 
are available from National Braille press?
If not, then I think this would be a great place to start. I would suggest 
letting him practise the gestures on the hard copy diagrams first to that he 
is able to understand that the gestures are taking place in reference to 
certain boxes and buttons.
If you already have the diagrams, then some practise working to make small 
gestures in the right places on the various screen elements in the diagrams 
should help develop the required movements.
I believe that your student shouldn't have any trouble then transitioning to 
the real iPad screen quite quickly after experience with the diagrams which 
give the concept a concrete application.
You can order the diagrams from
www.nbp.org
or call them to order on (617) 266-6160
Please let us know how you go with this challenge. I'm sure lots of us would 
like to know how things work out.
Warmly,
Heather Field

I have a student who is just starting out with an iPad. He is having 
tremendous trouble comprehending the concept of and physical movement needed 
to navigate the iPad screen. I have tried a number of activities. Does 
anybody have suggestions for apps that will help him practice movements on 
screen and orientation? He is an elementary student grade 4.

Thanks.
