The iPad isn’t just about fun and games, it’s a voice for those who are unable to or just learning to speak, and a powerful teaching tool. For the last year, many students at ACDS have been able communicate, some for the first time, thanks to the iPad. “With our population, it’s exciting to use 21st century technology to help us with our goal of preparing children to transition on into the public school setting at the age of 5,” explained Cecilia Barry, SBL/SDL, principal of ACDS, an early intervention and special education preschool working with individuals with Down syndrome, Autism spectrum disorders and other developmental disabilities and their families.
