=== There //really// is an APP for that! This page will highlight some great "app" resources for you to check out. Don't be afraid if it say "iPhone" app. The "app" is often inter-changeable and will work on an iPad too. ===

=== To Get Started ...you must, gotta have an iTunes account. Even if you are working in a PC environment the iTunes account will work on those computers. ===

Once you have the iTunes account search for " Education Apps" and/or "Special Education Apps". Challenge your self to only download free apps to start.

Have fun
