An iPad can also be used for our online curriculum. \r\nThis technology has already made an incredible impact on our students who are nonverbal or have limited speech. While many people are familiar with using tablets at home, in a school setting the iPad becomes so much more than entertainment — it becomes a communication tool, a voice, and a pathway for connection. With specialized AAC apps, visual supports, and interactive communication boards, the iPad is helping students express their wants, needs, feelings, and thoughts in ways they were previously unable to.\r\n\r\nThe most exciting part for my students is being able to participate in conversations and classroom activities more independently.
