Technology has introduced some new tools for those living and working with autistic kids. There’s an expanding list of special education apps for electronic devices, like the iPad and iPod, that offer some hope for kids with developmental disorders. Because autism is a spectrum disorder, meaning there’s a range of symptoms and severity that are unique to the individual, none of these apps is likely to be a silver bullet cure. But some of these apps are likely to be helpful, and any progress in this struggle is welcome. If you have an iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad, then you’re familiar with getting apps from the App Store in iTunes. There’s a special education section with lots of apps for various disabilities.
