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

[Alison Steven]

Have you seen the VO Tutorial from Look Tell? It is an adventure game that leads you through the different gestures on iPad or iPhone. Not sure if that is what you are looking for…

Good luck!

The tune in radio app is easy to use and free. The part that kids can find
interest in is the fact that there is a channel on the app that is dedicated
to kids programming, science, religion, sports, classic radio theater and
more, it is called childrens and it is under the brows section. HTH

Yet another great idea.  I ordered what you suggested as well as another
book. 


Any specific app ideas from anyone? 


Thanks

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.
