There is an explosion of information about how the i-Pad is a motivating teaching tool for children with special needs. One other way that it can be used is to provide apps to teach children time and money skills. The i-Pad provides opportunities for repetition that cannot be replicated using worksheets. The graphics and speed are also much better than most computer software programs that are available. Some of my favorite inexpensive apps include:
It's Learning Time
Jungle Time
Jungle Coins
I'd love to get feedback on other apps for time and money concepts that others have used with children with special needs. As an occupational therapist, I feel that it is very important for all children to learn life skills that will increase their independence and allow them to participate in their community in meaningful ways.
