iPad 2 and Communication

4.26.2011

I have recently purchased and iPad 2 and am waiting for it to come in the mail! I have done extensive research on the benefits it can have on a persons communication skills.  I plan to implement this learning tool into my everyday speech/language therapy with students grades K-5 in the elementary setting.

There are endless educational applications or "Apps" that can be downloaded to the Ipad 2.  I have found the following apps I am planning on downloading once my iPad 2 arrives.  They can all be applied to speech or language therapy. 

Areas in Speech/Language; Articulation Difficulties, Receptive and/or Expressive Language Disorders, Fluency/Stuttering, and Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)

APPS...
Comprehension Apps
SmartYearsApps

This post will be continuously updated with more information.
The more I learn; the more updates there will be!

  1. This is great! I had no idea that the iPad 2 had Apps for speech/language therapy! I'd love to be able to afford one and use it in therapy one day - I'm sure it would be motivating for students at the junior high level!
