Clair Judas, SPED Technology Specialist, compiled a list of switch accessible apps for the iOS devices. While not meant to be all inclusive - this is a great starting point for apps that allow for alternative access.

 

Here are just a few apps with switch access…
> Sounding Board
> Predictable
> Scene & Heard
> TapSpeak Choice
> TapSpeak Sequence
> Go Talk Now
> Alexicomm AAC

Read2Go is another app that is leveling the playing field!

 

"Read2Go, the new accessible eBook reader for the iPad, iPhone and iPod touch is now available for download from the iTunes App store.

Read2Go works with Bookshare. Any book available to you through your Bookshare login can now be downloaded to your iPad or iPod touch and read on your mobile device – offering a more accessible, portable library.

 

However, the current range of visual settings and speech options, along with the range of books from Bookshare, immediately make this eBook reader a game changer for accessing texts for many students with learning difficulties. Overall, this is an excellent start on providing an accessible eBook reader for all students’ needs."
