Video of a blind preschooler and her first three accessible apps.
This summary video follows a four year old student as she is learning to use an iPad, VoiceOver gestures and a refreshable braille display. This 9 minute video begins in September with Layla being introduced to an iPad using VoiceOver gestures and ends in January with Layla reading and writing braille using an iPad paired with a refreshable braille display. For information about the three apps Layla uses in this video, go to “Layla’s Three Preschool Apps Video” post.
