A PALS, who is spinal onset and still has intelligible speech, has lost motor control in UEs and LEs. She loves to read (Kindle app) on her iPad, but needs a way to access turning the pages of the book(s).
I am aware of the app designed for musicians to turn pages. Has anyone tried that for PALS? How does it work? Can it be easily adapted to a different switch access (the foot pedal wouldn’t work)? Has anyone tried Dragon Dictate for commanding page turning?
Are there other suggestions for apps with switch access that would serve this purpose? (I feel that we may have had this discussion before so I apologize if I missed this.)
Thank you!
