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

[Princess]

Thanks, I had not thought of the texting idea. 
I have him using the BARD app as he likes to listen to books.  Amazing that a blind child of 10 had never listened to audio books before. 


All ideas are appreciated and helpful 


Have a great day!

I know that for me and I pad can feel a little awkward compared to a phone
so a smaller platform may help. Also, I would challenge him with some things
that may be of interest to him, maybe see if he would be interested in
texting a parent, cousin or somebody else and once he sees the value in
communicating with others it may may make him feel a little more comfortable
handling the device. Also, on an app like PBS Kids, the Nick for kids or
Disney he could maybe learn to find the app, open it and choose a short
cartoon or TV show clip to watch and this may motivate the child to want to
explore things a little more.

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.
