If you can leave ipad plugged in, “hey siri” is supposed to work on IOS 8 from a black screen. I cannot confirm this right now but…
If you can leave screen on, then assistive touch may do the trick…
Full access via voice is not really available however..

I have not played with it, but what about "Hey Siri" and set the phone to not go to sleep.
What function does the person need to press the home button for?

To: National ALS Association AT Listserv <xxxxxx@alsa.simplelists.com>Is anyone aware of any new products to bypass the home button on the iPhone?
I have a person with no hand function that wants to have full access to the iPhone via voice commands.
I remember the headset (can’t remember the name but I have it filed away) but is there anything else?
Many thanks!
