[Trainer-Talk] Teaching Unlock/Swipe Gesture on newer iPhones

[Andrews, David B (DEED)]

For me it was mostly a matter of practice. You have to get the speed right, and the distance, but it gets easier.  It did take a couple weeks.  Not too fast, or too slow, start at the bottom and be positive in how you move, not hesitant.

Subject: [Trainer-Talk] Teaching Unlock/Swipe Gesture on newer iPhones

Hello all,
I have a client with a brand new iPhone XR and he is struggling to master the gesture used to unlock the phone or go home. This is my first time working with a client with a newer iPhone and was wondering if anyone has any tips they use for teaching this technique that they can recommend.

Apple accessibility suggested that we could put a virtual home button on the screen using assistive touch. Has anyone tried this? What are the down sides?

Thanks for any ideas.
