Apple Opens Special Education Apps Store

Are iPads and iTouches the next big thing in Assistive Technology? 

Last week, Apple unveiled a new section of its application store on iTunes - “Special Education: Learning for Everyone."  Within this section, the applications are conveniently organized into five subsections: communication, hearing, language development, literacy and learning and organization.  Applications include text-to-speech software, graphic organizers, and handwriting tools. The applications themselves are fairly inexpensive (some are even free), and compared to other platforms, schools may consider the iPad or iTouch a good bargain. 

Remember, the law requires schools to provide assistive technology devices or services to a student with a disability if the participants on the student's IEP team determine that the student needs such a device or service in order to receive FAPE. 

If you need help asserting your child's special education rights, contact Massachusetts North Shore attorney Lillian E. Wong today.

It is doubtful that any child may reasonably be expected to succeed in life if he is denied the opportunity of an education.
