A question I hear a lot is: "I finally bought an iPad for my visually impaired daughter! Now what?"

Parents of children who are visually impaired know that iPads are being used in schools or by their kids' TVIs. But that doesn't mean they know what to do with an iPad after it comes out of the box!

I was in this position, too. I am "Mom" to the sweetest and cutest little boy, Ivan. Ivan is eight years old and was born blind and multiply disabled. I had an iPad, and I knew it was supposed to be "good" for my son. Now what? I didn't even know where to start!

That's when I wished for a guide like iOS Success: Making the iPad Accessible. Larry Lewis's new book is designed specifically for parents and teachers and takes you step-by-step through iPad basics. He shows you how to set up your iPad and get the most out of the accessibility features. As a blind iPad user himself, he absolutely knows what he's talking about and (best of all) he writes in a clear and tech-free language that is easy to follow!

Larry's book starts at the beginning (he actually writes about taking the iPad out of the box and what you can expect to find in the box) and works up to much more complicated features (like connecting the iPad to a refreshable braille device or using the iPad as a word processor). And because the book is so easy to follow, it's pretty simple to skip ahead or jump back based on your own comfort with the iPad and what you need to know.

I would say this book is a must-read for any teacher or parent planning to work on an iPad with a child who is blind. To enter to win a free print copy of the book, visit the iOS Success Giveaway Page and enter your name in the drawing. The contest will run until July 20th at midnight.
