iPads and Special Education

I believe that iPads can be very beneficial for Special Education students.  I have seen students in the self-contained classroom at New Hope High School greatly benefit from the hands-on learning experience of using an iPad.  There are many apps that are specially designed for special education students.  iPads allow students to be hands-on with their learning, and they get instant feedback on what they are doing.  They are also easy to use and very portable, so students can use the iPads anywhere, anytime.  iPads can be used in many different ways, including helping with communication and fine motor skills.  I believe that iPads and similar technologies are very beneficial in the Special Education classroom.
