Using the iPad to compensate for eyesight chalenges, hearing difficulties and/or essential tremors.

Hi educators,

I am a volunteer educator looking for resources to help seniors who have an iPad. I would like to leverage the iPad's accessibility/accommodations features. Initially, I would address individuals that are visually impaired or simply have eyesight chalenges. However, I am thinking that individuals that have hearing difficulties could also benefit from a similar approach.

Seniors with early stages of Parkinson's disease or essential tremors would benefit from other accessibility/accommodations features of the iPad.

I have explored Apple's accessibility settings but it's a bit overwhelming. How can practical exercises make this learning more acessible?
