SpedApps2

A group of therapists at Southwest Human Development have joined to create a new wiki about apps of great use for students with disabilities. This is new, and all areas are NOT filled in. We are going beyond listing of apps, and reviewing apps that we've actually used, and giving tips for new applications of apps (hence the name SpedApps2, which stands for apps squared!) Please visit frequently, as this wiki will change!!

iPad Fever

Just got back from Closing the Gap. It's so interesting to see such iPad fever! I must confess that I seem to have caught at least a slight case of that fever.

Mark Coppin and I are going to pull together a list of some of our favorite apps, with ideas for using them to support AAC and literacy, so stay tuned.

Just hoping that we can all move past the 'cool' factors, and remember cognitive clarity. More than a decade ago, I remember Karen Erickson repeatedly slowing down my freewheeling ideas with the question, 'And you're doing that WHY?' So, I'm trying to temper my excitement about the next great app by asking myself those important why & how questions!!
