turning off assistive touch on an iPad

[Sarah k Alawami]

Hello to all. Some how a family member turned on assistavfe touch. I don't know how aw it is is pretty hard to get to. lol!

anyway I tried to turn it off but all that's in the middle of the screen is the assistive touch icon. I can't access settings or anything like that. Hitting home key does nothing and even the screen won't lock. It just dims.

any help would be appreciated as I know how to use assistive touch but it never acted like this on my phone.

The iPad is running ios 6.0.1 I believe and I have voice over on.

Thanks.

What exactly does assisted touch do? I didn't think it was usable to us if
we're using Voiceover. Am I incorrect on that assumption?

Chris.

Thank you kindly,

See david wood bridge's podcast on it at www.applevis.com. I personally don't use it but you never know.
