I am trying to set up my mom's iPad so that she can still use it as her Parkinson's is progressing. Is it possible to just touch anywhere on the screen, or wave her hand in front of it, to answer FaceTime?
Parkinson's has also affected her voice, making it very soft some days, or slurring her words. "Hey Siri" is not effective any longer.
Does Apple have an accessibility team that takes these needs into account as a disease progresses?
thanks.
iPad mini, iOS 9

It may also be worthwhile to directly contact Apple Support - and ask to speak with an Accessibility Specialist. Apple have a team dedicated to offering support for accessibility issues. They will be able to offer help and support with suggestions and specific settings for users with difficulties with motor function and other disabilities.
You can contact Apple Support using the Contact Support link at top-right of this page. Alternatively, you can initiate contact, or open a support case, using the excellent Apple Support App. If not already installed on your iPad, the App can be downloaded from the App Store:
