Hi there, looking for advice for tablet for my mom who has ALS. She has some use of both hands (more on the left) but can't seem to grade the force required to select something on the iPad screen (e.g. If a search throws up lots of items): she can move her hand slowly to where she wants but then finds it hard to lift her hand away again which causes her old iPad to zoom in and kind of freeze.
Her iPad is old so can't update the operating system and it weighs too much for her anyway. I was looking at the newer iPads (esp the small one) which have an accessibility setting where you can adjust some of the touch settings-has this worked for anyone or is there a better brand?
She is not tech savvy, isn't interested in new technology and although her speech is pretty terrible with her hand function speech apps just don't work. So a new tablet would be for limited internet browsing occasionally and will obviously only be for a window of time before this function is lost too.
Appreciate any thoughts or suggestions. Thanks
