apps in action for multiple disabilities

Just read the part where you should comment on the recorded sessions you view. So here goes (from memory). The vast majority of the applications which were reviewed were focused on less advanced students or those with delays beyond what I am familiar with. At first I did not see the relevence with my particular clientelle and was simply swept away with the possibilities and success stories. The student who could not complete his shopping with a list which was not exact could now instantly change that on the ipod. What a hugh difference for his family. Little things like magnification could help all learners (my 81 year old dad comes to mind). Speech to text and text to speech can be a game changer. I wasn't really sold on the underwater soothihg app but I don't yet work with anyone where the benefits would be obvious. One thing has become painfully obvious, the possibilities are endless.

A great student is what the teacher hopes to be.
