Special Needs iPad apps

Kayli has several impairments, including (DD) developmental delays, (CVI) Cortical Visual Impairment, Hearing impaired, as well as some motor delays.  Kayli was granted an iPad through IL's Project Reach, and donated to Kayli from Save R Sight.  We have found many apps that have helped guide Kayli in her healing and learning.  In order to pass the wealth of information along, we are sharing with you, the following list of iPad apps that we have found helpful/useful.  Please feel free to share with us, your favorites, and/or share Kayli's compiled list with others!

UPDATE:  Kayli was granted another iPad, this time through I Can Connect.  They also provided her with a head switch, an app that allows her to connect with others via her iPad (kind of like skype, but for the visually/hearing impaired), a magic arm to hold the ipad, as well as an arm to hold the head switch.  I Can Connect is a Nationwide (USA) program, that helps those who are hearing/visually impaired, connect with others.  They will come out to your house to evaluate which communicative device and software best matches your child's needs.  I highly recommend this program!

  1. You should try Starfall.com they have a great app! (as well as website!!!) it does cost, but it's TOTALLY worth it!! Also, if you get a membership (which is also WORTH IT!) you can play so many more games (online right now) and they are slowly adding all the online games to the app version.
