actually, it's not that hard to get to if you're sighted. Can you operate assistive touch, if so, double tap home.

I don't know how aw it is is pretty hard to get to. lol! anyway I tried to turn it off but all that's in the middle of the screen is the assistive touch icon. I can't access settings or anything like that. Hitting home key does nothing and even the screen won't lock. It just dims. any help would be appreciated as I know how to use assistive touch but it never acted like this on my phone. The iPad is running ios 6.0.1 I believe and I have voice over on.
