In the next version of iOS (iOS6), which is coming out soon, there is a new accessibility feature called Guided Access.  You can use it to turn off the home button via software, turn off sensors on the iPad and portions of the screen.  It is a great new feature that we wanted to explain to everyone so you can start thinking about how you are going to use it.  BridgingApps co-founder Sami Rahman has created a video to help you better understand this new feature and how to use it.  The video is 15 minutes long.  To accommodate for those with shorter attention Sami also created 3 shorter videos.  If you are interested in knowing more about other accessibility features that iOS6 has to offer click here.

Thank you for the information on IOS6 update for guided access. I see this as something that would make it easier for use to help with focus and reduce anxiety about pressing the wrong buttons.
