I apologize in advance for asking an off-topic question, but my Google-fu has failed me.

My girlfriend's niece is a Small Child who likes to turn the volume on her Android tablet all the way up, making it too loud for everyone else. How can we make it so that when she tries to make the tablet louder, nothing happens? (I know how to do this on an iOS device but not an Android one.)

have you looked for apps that will do this? something that does the effect of "twilight" on screens but for volume. Have you checked the parental control tools? Have you considered getting the kid a hearing test?

Seconding getting the kid a hearing test. Alternatively, speech therapy, if the issue is that she cannot understand what's being said.
