iOS Success: Helping Teachers and Parents Catch Up with Their Kids

In this Tech Doctor podcast, Robert and Allison speak with Larry Lewis. We begin with Larry telling us about his background in access technology and how he has gotten to the point where he now owns a company called Flying Blind, LLC One important aspect of Larry’s business is helping teachers and parents work with their blind and low-vision children to make the best use of current technology. Larry describes some of the ways that the access technology landscape is changing. He discusses the importance of Apple Accessibility and what it has meant for the direction of his business. Larry has recently published a new book entitled: “iOS Success: Making the iPad Accessible: A Guide for Teachers and Parents.” The book came about because school systems and parents are providing low-vision and blind children with iPads and need to quickly get up to speed and learn what iOS accessibility is all about. The book provides parents and teachers with the foundation that they need to quickly begin making use of the accessible iPad. Robert suggests that teachers and parents might want to use Larry’s book in combination with Take Control of Your iPad This book covers all important aspects of using the iPad but is not written with accessibility in mind. Larry’s book is available in multiple formats from National Braille Press Finally, we discuss the AfterShokz Bluez headphones, the Bose AE2w Bluetooth headphones and Tim Cook’s excellent question and answer session at The All Things Digital Conference We hope you enjoy this interesting and informative podcast.
