Scrolling using switch control

I have a student who is using switch control to listen to music on her iphone. She is using the built-in music app with the screen as her "select" switch and an external switch to "stop scanning" once the music is playing (she is blind and physically impaired). The problem we are having is that when she is in the music app only about 5 of her songs show up on the screen and you need to scroll down to see the others. Is there a way to have the scanning continue to the songs that are below the screen line without adding an additional command/switch?

Thanks!

iPhone 4S, iOS 8.2

Yes. If Auto Tap is on in Switch Control's settings, she should be able to double click her "Select Item" switch to pull up the Scanner Menu. From here, she can select Scroll, then Scroll Down.

If Auto Tap is off, the Scanner Menu will appear automatically. If this is the case, she needs to select More, which comes just after the Tap button. (It is a little hidden.)

She needs to scan to the music list before she opens the Scanner Menu, otherwise the Scroll option will not appear.

Let me know if this helps.

Good luck,

Christopher
