List of applications for people with autism or other special needs for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch devices
Kathleen McClaskey's insight:
You will find a comprehensive and well organized list of apps in some 20 categories (8 for AAC) that includes the following information: >> App logo. >> iPad version data: app name and prices in dollars and euros. >> iPhone / iPod touch version data (same fields). >> Link to the iTunes webpage and to the iTunes app page >> Website with more information on the app provided by the developer or its distributor.List of languages supported by the app. >> A link to the review of the application published in this blog, if it is already written (represented with the “TEST” logo). >> A short description of the app. This is NOT meant to be a well-thought summary but only an indication of its functionality.
If you are looking for Android apps, you can find a separate list here.

The folloing list of applications provide opportunities for autistic students to apply practical skills and process technologies and resources to meet current and future needs (ACARA, 2013). These skills include developing 21st century life skills such as communication.
