I have been following these websites, which review / create iProduct apps for students with Special needs.

Apps for Children with Special Needs.

Apps for Children with Special Needs

Moms with Apps

Babies with iPads - Early Years Disability Focus

Functional and Social Skills apps from the Conover Company ( many suitable for secondary students)

My favourite apps to use with children at the moment are:

Faces iMake - Which is great for developing basic iPad skills, fine motor practise and developing creativity. Fun!

Pocket Pond - for down time and providing kids with a sense of control.

Dragon - Voice recognition app based on 'Dragon Naturally Speaking'

iReader - Text to Speech

Mobile Education Tools  - Speech and language apps.

Hi Sue,

Thanks for your info.  I look forward to investigating further!

 

This is off the topic a little but do you know of www.pliese.com.au?  A fantastic resource for families and schools of disengaged learners. A Bendigo program, now with links OS including US and Ireland- very exciting.  Visit their website- ideal for secondary school students.  Mind you, their youngest client is 4.

 

Really enjoying the connection!
