My students come to me with a variety of needs - some are highly unintelligible, some need help with various aspects of language, some are bilingual learners, some are on the Autism Spectrum, and some are developmentally delayed. Using this iPad with a protective case to address their varied needs will allow me to target specific skills in a way that will engage every student at their own level.
There are Speech applications for iPad that target concepts, problem solving, speech sounds, grammar, and literacy with a multi-sensory approach. The speech apps available for iPad use bright colors and vivid illustrations, animation, music, and other fun sounds and movement to keep kids engaged and focused on learning, and to reward them when they are successful.
Of course, technology cannot replace human interaction, and the iPad will be used as just one part of a student's individualized plan for intervention, to enhance their learning experience.
