A Challenge to the Rehab Therapists and AT Specialists Out There

What I love about Apple is that the developers have often thought of multiple ways for the user to access the device for the same purpose (i.e. to reveal the dock on the ipad, you can swipe with four fingers up or double-tap the home button), and because of this, often this makes their devices more accessible to individuals with disabilities, simply because it opens up more options. However, there are times that multiple options, or even the availability of further accessibility options, are not enough.  This is where AT Specialists come in.  It is their job to look at alternative ways to get the job done, whether it's a different technology option, a different device altogether, a modified set-up, or even an alternative way to approach the task physically. 

So here's the challenge... (and answering this will help one of our participants)

When you take a screenshot on an iPad, it requires two hands working together at the same time because one finger of one hand hits the power button and one finger of the other hand hits the home button. A user can take a screenshot on an iPhone with one hand simply because of the size of the device, but this is not possible on an iPad. So, looking at the photos below, and assuming that this person cannot grip or isolate fingers on this affected hand, how can this person take a screenshot on an iPad?
