Cody’s O&M Adventures: iBook
Two boys with multiple disabilities created this iBook about their O&M lessons.
Two high school boys with multiple disabilities created this iBook about their O&M lessons. Using an iPhone, Cody dictated his sentences in Pages while Brian used the Memo app. Their O&M instructor transferred the stories into iBooks Author (available only a Mac) and added the accessible questions. The boys then access the book in iBooks on an iPad which is running VoiceOver. Cody uses a Bluetooth keyboard and the arrow keys to navigate through the story and to answer the questions. Brian uses a refreshable braille display using simple chord commands or the joystick to navigate through the story and to answer the questions.
Note: This iBook was created using the free app iBooks Author on an Apple computer. iBooks can be viewed on either an Apple computer or iOS device.
