This video has some tips on how to work with an iPad Home button that isn't functioning properly. The good news is that the iPad gives us the ability to emulate the Home button using a five finger swipe or by enabling Assistive Touch (directions below).
Simulate the Home button
To navigate without the home button, you will want to enable Assistive Touch. This can be done by going to Settings > General > Accessibility, and scroll until you see AssistiveTouch, then enable it.
