<p>My mom has mobility issues and vision impairment. She likes to play scrabble-type games on the computer (uses the magnifying glass built into Windows), use email and online banking, and shop. Before her vision got so bad, she had a Kindle Fire, which she only used for reading and a few game apps. When her eyes got worse (macular degeneration), we got her a bigger Android tablet. The newer versions of Android have “triple tap” to magnify the whole screen, no matter what app you are in.</p>
<p>But with the case, it’s a little heavy for her. Without the case, it’s hard to hold without touching the screen. Oy.</p>
<p>She still plays some games on it. She is not very good at the concept of an app vs a browser, though. Basically I load the apps she wants and she just picks from the home screen icons. So I’m thinking that you might be able to limit your mom that way - just don’t put the browser app where she can easily find it. Get the Facebook app, Kindle app if she reads, games she likes, etc. </p>
<p>Email is more difficult, but maybe you can load a gmail app (if she has gmail) and somehow disable other sites (parental controls are a possibility, especially if you can “white list” the sites that are safe).</p>
