Introducing 3- 8-year-olds to Voiceover on the iPad

Many years ago, a man with a blind toddler asked me when should he introduce her to computers, and I said, "Now." The next question is, how does a sighted parent begin familiarizing a young blind child to using a computer? The book,
_ABCs of iOS: A Voiceover Manual_,
https://www.perkinselearning.org/technology/blog/abcs-ios-voiceover-manual-toddlers-and-beyond
written by Diane Brauner and published by the CNIB, provides a great structure for the process.
Note: I had problems downloading the ebook fromt he website, but if you email them, the CNIB will send you a copy.
