I don't know about you but I find the whole App World so overwhelming… I need some handholding sometimes! So here are some apps (with a basic summary) that I have come across I thought I would share:
Nessy's Dyslexia App
– A very simple 'cartoon-based' app to use and easy to navigate through to learn about Dyslexia
– There are tips for parents and teachers that provides all the basic information one needs to support an individual with Dyslexia
– A child friendly quiz which can help you know if you have Dyslexia
-This App would be ideal in developing one's knowledge on Dyslexia in a kid friendly way
IEPS Checklist App
– This American designed app is help families, teachers and other support staff plan as well as implement Individual Educational Programs (IEP) for students with disabilities
– The Parent Educational Advocacy Training Center (PEATC) has launched this which ambition is to help individuals be better-informed advocates by making IEP information easier to access
– The IEP app is set up by categories and sub-categories, color-coded and allows space for your notes. It is important to know that the app has American policies references throughout due to PEATC being an American organization
– This App would be ideal in developing knowledge about the 'details' about IEPs
Tricet App
– to strengthen ones spatial awareness and ability to identify differences
– simple images that make the visual appearance of the activities appeasing to the eye

– This App would be ideal for developing coordination and sequencing
Doodle Buddy
– to strengthen artistic abilities
– various mediums for creating art from various stamps to backgrounds
– you could do further interaction by doing listening skill activities (ie. draw a sun in the center of the page)

UPad App

This ‘happy’ dress is from the Emily Carr Grad Show where wonderful, delightful, creative inventions have been put on display. It’s the place where I’m inspired to be the artist I never was! Amazing how others can inspire and educate others with just following their passion.
Recently, I have been bombarded with wonderful research and talents regarding special needs. Here are a few of my favourite that might interest you too! Enjoy!
