Ipad instructions for the blind? (self.Blind)
submitted 8y ago by throwitawayyy1234
Hey guys!
I bought an ipad for my mom (who is blind) for Christmas. I've been teaching her how to use it (she's not quite up to date with technology) but I was hoping to get her some kind of tutorial she can listen to or even a video I could watch so I can teach her effectively. She's SO excited to learn it and I put voice over on her ipad but I feel like she's still getting pretty mixed up with the functions of an ipad. So far I've downloaded audible and she's kind of getting the hang if it but I'd like her to eventually learn how to use safari, notes, YouTube, calendar, etc.
Thank you for her help!! My mom will be SO happy!!!
Ps- if anyone could suggest a different thread to post this on, please let me know! I'd really like suggestions!!! :)

... What National Braille Press said. Jonathan Mosen's book is easy to follow and up to date with the latest version of iOS. If it is available in PDF, download it on her iPad, and open it in iBooks. This will give her an option to practice the skills she is learning. Also, if you haven't already done so, navigate to settings/general/accessibility/voiceOver/VoiceOver practice, on her iPAD. This little app with in an app will allow her to perform any iOS gesture and get instant VoiceOver feedback on whether she is making it correctly.

Does your mom read braille or are you looking for something exclusively audio?

No unfortunately she doesn't read Braille so it would have to be something with audio.
