30 iPad apps for Special needs!!

 A Handy Chart Featuring Over 30 Apps for Students with Special Needs

January 19, 2016
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.

Something Was Wrong

I knew something wasn’t quite right shortly after giving birth to my daughter Ella. Nursing was difficult. When she started ”waking up” after those early weeks there was no “peace” about her. She wriggled and writhed and arched, and she hardly slept.
