Dear Newly Inducted Special Needs Parent
by Lola Lolita (of Scary Mommy Blog)
I see you.
And I don’t mean I physically see you (though I do). I mean I see inside you—I see the storm that’s tearing your soul apart, bit by unimaginable bit.
I can see you because I am you. Not now you, of course, but rather future you. And I’m here to say, I understand.

Today we spent sometime going through our archive looking for special needs apps we have shared here in the past and ended up with the chart below. These are apps we would recommend for teachers and parents of kids with learning disabilities. We have arranged the apps into four main categories: apps for dyslexic learners, apps for autistic learners, apps for the visually impaired and apps for learners with writing difficulties. For those of you using Android a similar list will soon be posted. Stay tuned.

Here is a quick rundown on things you should be addressing in your design standards, and some help getting started.
