Q: how do you lock the ipad so only one app can be used

I want to force a student to communicate using an ipad communication app.  I want the only thing on the screen to be that one app.  How do I lock the app so it is the only one that can be used on the ipad?   Is there a way to lock a page?  ie when he has navigated to the correct page to prevent the child from exiting and make him make a choice from that page?

 

Thanks!

    You can lock an iPad to a given app via Guided Access:

    To try and lock a web browser to a single page you'll need to investigate third-party browsers such as MobiCIP or the McGruff browser and see if they allow you to lock to a single page. Safari in iOS 6 or earlier has no controls and in iOS 7 allows you to restrict to a given site or set of sites but not to a single web page.
