I have many special needs students. I have one of our district's autistic programs, one of the mentally impaired, one behavior disorder, as well as physical/occupational therapy. Plus, more than a third of our students are low-functioning but don't qualify for services. We have been using an app on iPads that has virtual bells and so many of my students struggle to play it. Playing these bells will give the touch/feel sense they need. The bells will also be laid out in front of them giving them the visual/spatial view they need. These bells will help all of my students but especially those who will succeed better with adaptive instruments.
