Hello there, Twicetwins.


The following Knowledge Base article offers up how to change the Accessibility Shortcut for your Home Button, on the iPad:


Accessibility Shortcut - iPad User Guide

http://help.apple.com/ipad/7/#/iPad9a245f9e


Use the Accessibility Shortcut. Press the Home button quickly three times to turn any of these features on or off:

  • VoiceOver
  • Invert Colors
  • Zoom
  • Guided Access (The shortcut starts Guided Access if it’s already turned on. See Guided Access.)
  • Switch Control
  • AssistiveTouch


Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.


Cheers,

Pedro.
