Although my classroom is located in a school that does not qualify for any type of federal funding, we serve children of all types of socio-economic backgrounds. I presently have three students who qualify for free or reduced price lunch. More importantly, I have one student who has been diagnosed with autism, one student who receives special education services for learning disabilities, two students who show strong signs of being on the autism spectrum, one student who is going up for testing to receive special education services, and two other students who have been tested privately and found to have short-term memory/processing issues and dyslexia. I feel that an iPad would be instrumental in my classroom because I could select/buy apps that would help my students who need specific, skill-related remediation/practice, as well as provide more advanced activities for students who would benefit from those. Thus, an iPad would help me provide differentiation to individual students.
