Guided Access

A dictionary can come in very handy when you're researching, working on an assignment or just reading something on your phone. What happens if you get stuck on a word or term? Just look it up - dictionary definitions are integrated into iOS on Apple devices. Get quick access to definitions and commonly used phrases to help you with your spelling, pronunciation and grammar.

FaceTime lets you communicate visually whether you're using sign language, gestures or facial expressions.

For some people navigating the web can be very difficult - sensory overload! Safari Reader reduces the clutter by taking away the adverts, buttons and navigation bars so you can focus on the content.

Guided Access helps people with ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorders), ADHD (Attention Defecit Hyperactivity Disorder) or other attention or sensory differences to stay focused and on task.

With Guided Access a parent or teacher can limit the iPhone to stay on one app by disabling the Home button, and limit the amount of time spent in an app. Access can also be restricted to the keyboard and touch functions on areas of the screen so wandering taps won't distract from learning. Guided Access helps you stay on task and get it done!

Speak Selection helps with speech development by breaking down the words you're reading. Or compose a text and have your iPhone speak it to you. There are over 300 apps in the App Store for this!

To access Safari Reader just click 'Reader' or the lines in the top left hand corner of the address bar.
