  1. Help children with disabilities


    I really don't want to post on here but since customer service couldn't help or give me an email to write directly I am forced to write this public forum. I am beyond frustrated with Microsoft. My sons Xbox one stopped reading discs (apparently known for
    this) it was in exceptional condition and taken really good care of since he is super ocd with his belongings. My son has Autism with sensory issues and cannot wear headphones/microphone. Since his xbox wasn't reading any discs we had to trade it in and got
    the xbox one s. We discovered that in order for him to use the kinect to talk on xbox live you need a special adapter that Microsoft no longer makes as a result the adapter is hard to find and outrageous in price if you do find it. Hence my frustration, my
    son has to do without because of his disabilities and Microsoft has failed him and others like him by not giving another alternative to have a wireless microphone. I am hoping that by bringing this to your attention you will rectify this so that he will
    have the same opportunities as typical children. I am his voice.

    :)

  2. Controller for children with disabilities

    Hello!

    I was wondering if anyone one knew how to turn a iPad into a controller into a xbox controller?

    The reason I ask is because I know a child and he has cerebral palsy and he cannot hold the xbox controller. He uses his computer and operates other things by using his iPad. He has come along way however one thing he always wants to do is play xbox with
    his friends.

    To him its just having fun but it will also help him develop his motor skills! Can Some One please help me out!! or forward this to someone who could help!

    Hey there Stoked,

    I agree with Sinister Rage, if he is able to use the Ipad for computer then the smartglass app may be the best thing to try.

    Best of luck. Let us know how it goes!

    The Kinect is no longer supported, and the Kinect and the cable are both discontinued.

    You could use a second controller with a headset adapter and a microphone plugged into that to achieve what you need.

    All you need to do is plug the controller into the USB and enabled the mic.

    Unfortunately as stated above KINECT is no more, I have looked around and it would be cheaper to buy a OG Xbox One than the actual USB adapter for it. Help children with disabilities :(

    Only thing you can get close to using the iPad for is the Xbox smartglass app . Using the remote feature but it mostly controls typing in fields for like Internet explorer and its navigation. It controls other apps on the dashboard for movies, music and
    so on. Here it the link for more info on it
    www.xbox.com/.../smartglass
    . I really hope this helps you.

    But as far as gameplay it's limited as of now. Most games use smartglass but majority the use is with the controller.

    Hi. You can upload certain apps to use the iPad to 'control' your XBox but so far as I know, it doesn't let you play games. I added a link to an article about how the Kinect is used by children with disabilities, but I haven't seen anything about controllers.
    Sorry I couldn't help, but best of luck to you and yours.

    Beware of your account!

    You can set an option to disable purchasing from your xbox. You should keep your young children on non-connected GT's until they understand they shouldn't do that.
