Ipads
For Special Needs Education
Ipads for special needs education has proven to help autistic children, and many other children find a connection to their surroundings that has not been available before.
Education of these special needs people has been confined to many of the old techniques that were used when I was a school teacher. Most of us that are interested in education that really teaches instead of only lectures, understands that making interactive changes, is what will bring more results in a classroom. Bringing special needs people into awareness of the world we share with them, is a big part of the education goal.
From what we see with Ipads and the technology we are all so enthralled with in “normal society”, is a way that we can touch and expand our communication with these special people. I remember when I was teaching, someone joked and said that “teachers are going to become software programmers.” This might just be becoming true. When we can see what is working, with our students, we can adapt our approaches to teaching to fit individual needs.
I went to see what Apple had to say about Ipads and Special Needs Education. You might find their information interesting. Here is the article for you to consider. Apple Link

I am excited to see changes in how Special Needs People are educated. It is my personal belief that giving these people an opportunity to connect with their surroundings will help to create employment opportunities for their future.
Being part of communities that respect the value of each other is one way of experiencing a life to strive for. Finding answers to the issues we know that we can fix, gives us power. Technology has changed our everyday lives so much and it appears technology can do the same for some very special people.
Education is ready for a change in many different ways, Special Needs individuals have very special gifts to offer the world. Re-evaluation of what works and what doesn’t work for individuals, can make a difference for many. Ipads for Special Needs Education is just one small example of how we can make small changes that will make a difference for many’s future.
