I’ve heard there are lots of apps for people who have disabilities. Where can I find more information?
Solution: You’re right! There are lots of apps for iPod Touch, iPhone, and iPad that help people who have disabilities with a variety of tasks. Some of the apps are somewhat therapeutic in nature, meaning they offer the user the ability to practice using skills or offer the user opportunities to learn new skills. Examples of these types of apps would include cognitive memory training games or games to practice speech articulation skills. Other apps function more as assistive technology (AT), meaning they provide the ability to perform a task the individual can’t do otherwise. Examples include apps for speech communication where a user who is nonverbal pushes buttons/pictures and the device speaks for them, or apps for organization/memory, where the device gives reminders for remembering and completing tasks. Try these websites for lists of links about apps that address the needs of individuals who have disabilities. Note that some of these lists appear to be geared towards education, b
