Really? The iPad does what?...
and aPPs that children love!
(iPad Accessibility Features and Educational Apps) 
 
This fun, hands on (BYOD) workshop will teach you to how to use the iPads accessibility features that could be useful for children with special needs. These innovative technologies allow every child to experience the fun and function of an iPad. Every child learns differently, so when fun is part of the learning process it can become a powerful tool for students with learning disabilities. Come experience some of the powerful features on the iPad...if the one you are looking for is not a part of this workshop, we will explore together.  Choose what you like best...
