Yes, I really like iOS6.  And now Siri opens programs, too.  I like to do most 
things by voice.

Yes, the VA curriculum goes through a lot of it, and I think it even divides 
things up into beginners and more advanced users. I hope they'll incorperate 
iOS 6 changees at some point. One of the cool things about iOS 6 is that you 
can run different accessibility options together like Zoom and VoiceOver. 
During a demo awhile back, I was running Zoom, VoiceOver, and braille all at 
the same time. A few of us are also working on a curriculum for use with 
braille devices on iDevices. Some partsof  it need to be modified for specific 
displays or notetakers, but it'sa  work in progress.

Folks at the Blind VA have developed a pretty comprehensive curriculum for 
teaching iOS devices with VoiceOver and Zoom.

Does anyone know of an iOS curriculum (iPhone and/or iPad) that has already 
been developed specifically for visually impaired users?  Of course I know 
about the information Apple provides, and I have recently purchased âGetting 
Started with the iPhone,â but I am wondering if any instructors or centers have 
developed an actual curriculum (manual, lesson plans, etc.) for teaching the 
iPhone or iPad to visually impaired consumers.
