I appreciate your sharing that, Ann, so are you saying that as a blind
person it would not be a good teaching tool? Did you learn anything from the
book that you could not have gleaned from using the iPad yourself? I was
going to order it, but am glad for tthe input of others who may have already
read this book.

I was disappointed with this book. It is
directed to sighted parents, and didn't give me
as a blind person the information I wanted about
such things as screen layout and navigation.
Maybe I just want more explanation than the average bear.
