WORKSHOP: Reading & Writing iPad Apps for Students with Learning Disabilities

Does your child/student struggle to gain information from printed material, falling behind in grade level due to the struggle with decoding words, have poor comprehension? Is he/she a poor speller? Have difficulty getting thoughts on paper? In this session you will get an overview of challenges that students with dyslexia and other learning disabilities face, and how an iPad can benefit them. We will look at apps such as text to speech, word prediction and graphic organizers, developing comprehension skills and more.
