The new iPad for the visually impaired

Millions of people now enjoy the Retina Display technology in the new iPad because it offers great graphics with its high resolution. It has received such positive reviews from fans and experts alike that many more sell old iPads to experience such a display. But what about the visually impaired? Can they still use the iPad? Of course they can! In this article, I will introduce you to fun apps for your visually impaired kids.

Are here:

1. Fireworks Lite

In this application, if you slide your fingers on the screen, the fireworks will fly on the black screen and explode in many different colors. It also has cool fireworks sounds.

2. BabyTap

This one is simple too. It just has a white screen where your child can touch and shapes will appear. With each touch, a sound like a baby’s laughter or the sound of a bell will be produced.

3. Musical hands

This is another fun app for your visually impaired child. This application displays the screen with colored squares divided. Each row is a different instrument. Once your child touches a box, a sound is produced while an explosion of color appears.

4. Sound shaker

This one is easy to play too. All your child has to do is choose a sound from several images. You have to touch the next blank screen with dots and the sounds will play. The sound changes each time you press and hold your finger on the screen. The dots will turn into an egg that will hatch and a chick will chirp for your child!

5. Peekaboo Barn

This one has very simple graphics. All your child has to do is touch the big red barn and an animal will pop out and make a noise. Then a child’s voice pronounces the name of the animal.

6. Bubbles

This application starts with a black screen. When your child slides a finger across the screen, blue bubbles will pop up.

7. BabySymbol

This one is also a lot of fun for the visually impaired. It is a cause and effect app that generates different sounds for each image your child hits. You can choose whether the screen displays different images or just one large image for your child to see.

8. Itsy Bitsy HD

This is an interactive Itsy Bitsy Spider storybook. Your child can play anywhere and something fun will happen. Choose Mozart, Beethoven, or Bach first. Then some images will appear and when you touch the screen, different sounds will play and stars will appear. This application is ideal for children with cortical visual impairment.

9. PlayPhone

Like the other apps, this app starts with a black screen. The entire screen turns multicolored with every touch. When a button is pressed, a character appears and says something funny.

10. Tap-N-See-Zoo

This application was created for people with cortical visual impairment. The screen is black with a red teddy bear floating around it. When your child touches the screen, the bear approaches the finger for you to touch it. If the bear grows a lot, a funny sound is produced.

Watch? Even a visually impaired child can still play with the iPad. So download these apps now for your little one to enjoy!
