Guided Access

Guided Access helps someone using iPad to stay focused on a particular task. Guided Access limits iPad to a single app, and lets you control which app features are available. Use Guided Access to:

Temporarily restrict iPad to a particular app

Disable areas of the screen that aren’t relevant to a task, or areas where an accidental gesture might cause a distraction

Disable the iPad hardware buttons

Use Guided Access: Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Guided Access, where you can:

Turn Guided Access on or off

Set a passcode that controls the use of Guided Access and prevents someone from leaving an active session

Set whether iPad can go to sleep during a session

Start a Guided Access session: Open the app you want to run, then triple-click the Home button. Adjust settings for the session, then click Start.

Disable app controls and areas of the app screen: Circle any part of the screen you want to disable. You can use the handles to adjust the area.

Ignore all screen touches: Turn off Touch.

Keep iPad from switching from portrait to landscape or from responding to any other motions: Turn off Motion.

End a Guided Access session: Triple-click the Home button and enter the Guided Access passcode.

AssistiveTouch

AssistiveTouch helps you use iPad if you have difficulty touching the screen or pressing the buttons. You can use a compatible adaptive accessory (such as a joystick) together with AssistiveTouch to control iPad. You can also use AssistiveTouch without an accessory to perform gestures that are difficult for you.
