Apple is spotlighting the increasing number of apps meant for individuals with special needs with a featured special education section in its App Store. The section titled “Special Education” launched late last week and includes 72 applications for the iPhone and 13 applications for the iPad in 10 categories ranging from communication to emotional development and life skills, according to Trudy Muller, an Apple spokeswoman.
These apps can be used on all Apple products including the iPad which is increasingly being used in the school setting. These applications in conjunction with the devices themselves increase student's abilities to communicate and access the curriculum and make the meaningful progress intended by IDEA.
