Powerful assistive features are built into iPad to complement your vision, hearing, motor skills, learning, and literacy.
Some of these features are:
Colour Filters – A range of customisable colour filters to complement different forms of colour blindness or other vision challenges.
FaceTime – High-quality video and a fast frame rate make FaceTime ideal for people who communicate using sign language.
Dictation – Say what you want to write and your iPad converts your words (and numbers and characters) into text
Guided Access – Helps people with autism or other attention and sensory challenges stay focused on the task (or app) at hand. With Guided Access, a parent, teacher, or therapist can limit iPad to stay on one app by disabling the Home button, and limit the amount of time spent in an app.
