iPhone/ iTouch Apps for Special Needs

Erica, one of my students who has Joubert Syndrome has made tremendous gains over the past two years. Click here to see a previous post on Joubert Syndrome. Her communication has gone from being completely prompt dependent with mostly yes and no answers to initiating her needs and wants at times. Well her birthday is coming up next month and her parents are getting her an i pod touch. We are hoping that this will increase her accessibility to prompts, schedules, self taught skills such as sign language, as well as to the internet and books. Her father has asked me to find some apps that would work for her, so I am compiling a list of apps that can help all special needs students. You can view the list HERE!  There are almost 50 apps with descriptions, links and cost. They are organized my Schedules and Prompts, Communication and Autsim, Reading and Stories, Math, Sign Language and Braille, Teachers and Parents, and Disability Access.
