Hi,

Its a little different.  Here goes the breakdown.  Remember, the home screen in 
IOS is broken up into 3 sections.  Status bar on top where the time is, the 
actual home screen where apps and folders are displayed a long with the page 
chooser in the middle taking up most of the screen, and the dock at the bottom 
where you have your most often used apps or folders.  To open the notifications 
center, you touch the status bar first, which is on the top of your device 
where time, battery status, etc is shown.  Then do a 3 finger swipe down.  This 
is the same process that was in IOS 6.  To open control center you again touch 
the status bar but you do a 3 finger swipe up.  There is also a short cut to 
get to the control center.  With 1 finger, touch anywhere on the dock on the 
bottom of the screen.  Keep your finger held down and you will here a triple 
tone similar to when you do a double tap and hold to delete or remove an app.  
Where you hear this, just swipe up with that single finger.  But, this doesn’t 
work consistently like the first method I described.  Lastly you have the 
spotlight search page.  To get to this, Voiceover focus needs to be on the home 
screen.  Not in the dock on the bottom, or the status bar at the top but, the 
actual area where your apps are displayed.  From here, do a 3 finger swipe down.
