AT is used to maintain, increase, or otherwise improve functional abilities. They are discussed during IEP meetings, defining specific applications for specific needs. My favorites integrate software that can be accessed through mobile technology (tablets, smartphones). Older kids look cool, standing out from their peers in a positive way. Here are some of my favorite apps, for both Android and iPad.
- Reading Trainer (improve speed and comprehension)
- Google Text-to-Speech
- Writer (taking notes, thoughts into text)
- Google Calendar (calendar/organization)
- Pocket (organizational skills)
- Evernote (notes, organizational skills)
