In this demo of the Ballyland Magic app, I give you a demo and overview of the app.

From the developers: http://www.sonokids.org

An educational iPad game that helps children with vision impairment to learn and practice a number of VoiceOver gestures.

The Ballyland Magic app is specifically designed for young children with vision impairment to learn and practice their first navigational touch gestures for VoiceOver, Apple’s built-in screen reader. While engaging with the Ballyland Magic app, children with no or low vision will learn fundamental skills to use a mobile touch screen device. You don’t need to be a VoiceOver expert to assist the child – but by the end of the Magic Show, you may be well on your way to becoming one!!Features:

No previous iPad experience required by the child or parent/teacher

Built-in speech

Original ‘Tap-tap’ practice song

Popular Ballyland characters

Use at home and at school

Designed with extensive feedback from young children with vision impairment, their parents and educators
