[blindkid] Ipads

National Braille Press has a book for the iPhone 4 and it also applies to the iPod Touch. Our son used the book and his iTunes site to set the voice over on his iTouch and learn to use the iTouch features. He did not need sighted assist to set up iTunes which he did 2 years ago, again he had the book from Braille Press at that time the book was for iTunes and the iPod Nano. In other words with the instruction books sighted assist is not required.

You are the best. I am trying to download itunes, and am being denied access
for the oddest reason. I am being told I am to young. I wish!
