The students in this classroom do their best when technology and sensory experiences are combined with learning opportunities! They would benefit greatly from the sensory, communication, cause-effect, and learning apps that are offered on an iPad. The accessibility features on the iPad would help the students navigate the device more independently and effectively. An iPad would completely change the school experience for these students in a positive way! They would have an additional support to their learning and communication within the classroom. These SUPER HEROES deserve the most out of their education-help me give them the most with an iPad!
