Like many here, our child has ASD and always puts the volume at maximum. The ability to limit the SPEAKER volume would be so helpful.
Apple, please understand the diversity of needs of your users. Headphone volume limits are great, but we need them for speakers too.
First, perhaps understand the Apple Support Community is a user-to-user technical forum. Contributors here are all end-users, just like you. Other than the site Moderators, Apple neither monitor nor participate here. As such, if you hope to reach Apple through these forums, you will be disappointed.
The iPad doesn’t have any settings to limit the iPad loudspeaker volume. You are not the first - and are perhaps unlikely to be the last - to look for settings to limit the volume of an iPad.
Apple does invite submission of constructive comment and feature requests via its Product Feedback portal. If you would like to see additional controls or functionality released in a future version of iPadOS, this would be the most appropriate channel through which to direct your request and reasoning. For iPad and iPadOS:
WTH, seriously- W T H! I just took an important zoom meeting. I gave my toddler the iPad just to get through it, she CRANKED the volume. I could not get it locked. I could not even get on to respond and speak at the meeting because it was so freaking loud. Please fix this!!

I would also like to know what is that app? I have tried couple of apps, but the problem is that you can just quit them and then there is no limit anymore.
Any way you could share the name of or link to that app? I found one that works well but only for 80 minutes at a time. So i have to constantly reset the timer on them. I have 3 kids with ASD.
App name is Volume limit control

You can always go down to accessibility and turn on guided access. With 3 button clicks, you’ll be able to lock certain functions using a passcode such as volume buttons or lock button or even touch.
I turn off the volume buttons on my autistic nephews iPad after setting it to the ideal volume.
