iPad setup for an Intellectually Disabled person

my intellectually disabled son needs to run only one app on his new iPad but after spending hours and locking as much out as possible or hiding (very poorly) unremovable apps he still got into things he shouldn't have and rendered the new iPad useless. Now I have got the iPad back to factory settings I need to make it son proof which seems to be not possible with an apple product

1/. Can I have the iPad start up without requiring any security passcode or finger check from turn on or sleep.

2/. Can I have the iPad start with only a preselected app

3/. Is there a way of locking the iPad settings app (the display time delay is no good as it needs to be around 1 sec. or less).

4/. Are there any apps that will do the above as I have been using a very successful app (with remote control) for Android for years.

It may be worthwhile for you to directly contact Apple Support - and ask to speak with an Accessibility Specialist. Apple have a team dedicated to offering support for accessibility and disability issues. They will be able to offer help and guidance - with suggestions and specific settings appropriate for your need.

You can contact Apple Support using the Support link at top-right and bottom-left 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:

I hope this information is helpful in obtaining the specialist help that you need.
