interactive

Hi5! 'interactive' We are hoping and praying for an enjoyable and and academically progressive school year for all Students. Today, we are excited about the Lehmann Center, as we share an article about how electronic gadgets can elicit and motivate Students to communicate, entitled, 'Schools put iPad apps to use to help special needs students' Thanks to Alesha Williams Boyd | Staff Writer for www.app.com (excerpt) "Anthony Leuck of Berkeley is used to communicating in ways that aren't quite conventional. The 18-year-old has an undiagnosed disorder that makes speech and muscle control extremely difficult." Like these Students, our son enjoys iPad, almost any device that is a 'touchscreen', hand-held, and is portable. Likewise, even as a 6 year old on the Autism Spectrum, he gravitates to electronic gadgets and software programs that provide an immediate response. Thanks to our Facebook Friend 'Autism Understanding and Acceptance' for sharing a good resource. AUA is a non-profit with 3578 Facebook Friends. Read how interactive electronic tablets such as iPad can help your child or Students who are on the Autism Spectrum.
