Reset IPad with broken home button

I was resetting my old iPad to set up for my child to use, however, when it reset, it is now at the hello screen asking for the home button to be pushed to continue. The home button has been broken for some time- I had been using the accessibility setting, but completely forgot that would reset in the settings until it was too late. Any suggestions as to how to access the iPad now?

The home button would need to get fixed.
