The iPad is an amazing tool for any child, but the best part is its complete functionality for all children, including children with development delays and special needs.It’s also a great tool for adults with special needs. For years, people with disabilities didn’t have access to entertainment or computer benefits, as these electronics devices were not disability-friendly. But now that there are so many great iPad apps for children with special needs, technology is much more inclusive.

That’s why I got an iPad for my kids. And during the past year I have learned how to choose the best apps for them without spending tons of money. Here are some of my secrets:

    I download flashcards to my iPad and my son loves playing with them. His favorite app is English flashcard by BH Inc. I’m glad that he is interested in learning new words and getting used to hi-tech devices. You can have a look at the developer of that application at http://www.superflashcard.com

      You can approach a service organization such as the Lion’s Club, Rotary Club or even McDonalds to see if they would consider purchasing one for you. You may need to fill out an application or do a presentation to the group.
