I hope to use an iPad, case, and a stylus to be implemented as an alternate, supportive, treatment modality to address the vastly different life challenges of these children with special needs so they can navigate their everyday life with more ease and fun! In this fast paced, ever changing technically evolving world, our brains and bodies are adapting to the different demands placed on us. While it is ever more important to maintain and incorporate the more traditional methods of helping children explore, learn, and grow (i.e. chalk writing, playing with sand, water, play doh), it is also important to help them understand and use technology in a functional and appropriate way. There are many different apps and some are designed by occupational therapists who understand the implications of iPad usage and how it can further develop their developmental milestones in a fun and interactive way! These apps are motivating, quick and easy, and target multiple skills. Some target handwriting skill so they can isolate their index finger and trace letters and numbers with inspiring sounds/visuals that follow upon completion, such as the letter school app. Some of my children refuse to write with traditional apparatus (i.e. pencils, chalk/sand writing), especially some children on the more severe spectrum of autism. However, they love writing when a train blows its horn and trails through a railroad after they trace a letter! That is one example of how an interactive app can help address one component of what occupational therapy works on. I hope I can use the iPad with the many more apps out there in order to help inspire and engage children so they can become more independent!
