APPS FOR SPECIAL KIDS

The idea for this website came in December 2012 when my 23 year old son Ben received an iPad mini for Christmas. Ben was born with a rare chromosomal disorder which resulted in an intellectual disability and cerebral palsy. Though he is non-verbal, he has always had the ability to communicate his basic wants and needs, but we have always seen a need to find some device that could expand his abilities. It was clear very soon after he started working with his new iPad that with the right application this could work well for some of Ben's communication (as well as entertainment) needs.
