SNApps4Kids offers reviews of hundreds of apps and a process to select the right app.  The new IEP & iPad Pilot Program recommends apps to meet a child's IEP. They have accepted the first 5 families with the second round that will begin January 12th.

 

Special Needs Apps for Kids (SNApps4kids.com) is a community website to support Parents, Teachers, Therapists and Doctors who want to use technology like the Apple iPad to help special needs and typical children of all ages and abilities to succeed.

 

"SNApps4Kids’ goal is to explore practical, useful, and educationally sound ways to use the iPad and similar devices with children of all ages and ability levels. A key component to achieving this goal is helping SNApps4Kids users choose apps for children that are appropriate, useful and life-enhancing."

"SNApps4Kids has created a pilot program to test a service for matching applications or “apps” to IEPs of children who have special needs. We are looking for 5 teachers who have students with a current IEP or 504 Plan to participate in this pilot program. The goal of this pilot is to investigate whether offering an IEP app matching service using the iPad will be a helpful tool enabling teachers to help their students with special needs progress towards reaching IEP goals."

 

If you are a teacher and would like to apply for this pilot program, please see the information below:

Criteria for participating in pilot:

> Must be a teacher of school-aged students (K-12)
