Visual

With a range of built-in tools, and support for external peripherals, such as braille displays, iPad and Mac are built with accessibility in mind. The voiceover and zoom tools are the perfect examples of this:

VoiceOver is a screen descriptive tool, providing auditory descriptions of each onscreen element and provides helpful hints along the way. It also allows you to change the way you use your device.

Zoom on the other hand is a built in screen magnifier that works anywhere in iOS including all apps from the App Store. The maximum zoom level of 500% can easily be set by the student and when zoomed in everything works as normal.

Physical and Motor Skills

Where a student has limited mobility access, there are a number of tools that can be configured in order to provide that student interact with an Apple device.

Switch Control for example allows the student to utilise a series of switches (hardware, software, or camera based) to build a new interactive system for your device. Your Apple device will then scan through all the options available, selecting them using this switch.
