Karen Vitek's List: Assistive Technology

"Technology continues to surprise us every day. Now iPods and iPhones offer easy access at the palm of our hands for any game, video, and communication tool imagined. In the realm of special education, educators and professionals also search for the cheapest technology to use for working with students and clients to enhance communication and daily skills. This site lists some of the latest applications (apps) available for a teacher or student to use on their ipod/phone that targets the special needs population. If you do not have an iPod Touch or iPhone... go get one and start connecting with your students!"
