Whether your children have dyslexia, ADHD, Auditory processing disorder or one of the many syndromes commonly diagnosed, I’m sure you will find an application for IPad that excites them and encourages them to learn the things they find difficult.
There is a real WOW! factor when you produce an IPad. Children want to use it. The potential is enormous and the variety of apps is increasing rapidly. I bought an IPad and produced it to use as a reading exercise for children with difficulty – first experiences have been really promising.

Don’t forget to sign up for the language and learning difficulties workshop on Oct 2. The special early bird rate expires on September 8. You can sign up on line but PLEASE send us a copy of the deposit slip

Have you watched the movie – it’s well worth watching and helps to understand Autism Spectrum Disorders

Have you tried working with children with learning difficulties with an IPad. There are all kinds of features and apps that help and the selection of apps is growing daily. Some work very well for children with Autism and some features really suit dyslexics. Eye hand co-ordination through the Bubbles program, speech encouragement with the Talking Cat – I’m just starting the exploration and so far it is really exciting. Do let me know what you find that works.

Have just spent an amazing day with Autism Queensland listening to Tony Attwood. So much information about Asperger’s packed into just one day. Too much to absorb so have to hit the books. Here are a few of the books he recommended:
How Humans Make Friends – Loreen Leedy
Making Friends – Fred Rogers
Alone Together – Katrine Bentley & tony Attwood
The Way I see It – Temple Grandin
Have fun reading!
