Apple is heavily invested in providing accessibility features out of the box. iOS is the operating system that runs on iPads, and has many accessibility features that can help you. At Assistive Tech, the most common feature we see is guided access which allows you to restrict a single app on the iPad such as Proloquo2Go.
For more information on all the great accessibilities features iOS has, visit the Apple Accessibility website.
Apple Support is available over the phone or through chat. For help with using one of Apple's accessibility features, you can request a call straight away or schedule a time for Apple to call you when you're ready.
