Excellent idea. Not just for kiddies either. But it does presuppose computers and IT resources, which aren't necessarily available in developing countries. That is the filter I apply as our Foundation funds girls' education in those communities.

Most schools have access to iPads or something similar and this resource shows to ability of iPads and how they can be used for those will disabilities. The knowledge of these aspects of iPads could be vital for those teachers who work in Special Education classrooms or have students within their classroom with hearing or vision impairments!

This is a great resource as I have students with identified disabilities and will often use the iPads as a differentiated activity for students, being able to make these adjustments to improve accessibility and engagement provides me with more confidence.
