iPad for Our Rooms

I would be remiss if I did not mention the potential the newly announced iPad from Apple may have on severe special education, especially for AAC.http://images.brisbanetimes.com.au/2010/01/28/1073079/apple-ipad-tablet-ebook-420x0.jpgHowever there is no way I can do justice to the topic like Ricky did over at ATMac.  Thus, I send you there to read all about it!

(I just want to see Proloquo2Go run on it.  And hear how loud the speakers are.)

For re-evals I use the Brigance as it has readiness subtests. I also use the SFA, School Function Assessment. Here is a link: http://www.therapro.com/School-Function-Assessment-SFA-P321734.aspx . It is very useful for the severe population or those…

Classroom Pictures

Since I love seeing the pictures of other classrooms, I decided to post some of my classroom. You can see them on my blog http://specialclassroom.blogspot.com/. My pictures don't even include the students or their wheelchairs, so you have to imagine that.

Dynavox

Does anyone know how to hook up the Dynavox V to run a remote control car? I think it can be done, but don't know how. I spent some time on the website, called Tech support, and didn't get far..probably because my prep time is..oh wait..don't have one..and it was a crazy day in the classroom!
