Here are some great app finds I came across this week geared for kids of all needs.
USA Today Highlights Apps for Special Needs Children
If you’re a mom of a child with special needs, like myself, check out this article recently published in USA Today detailing several apps for special needs children. My step-son loves his iPhone and our iPad, it keeps him focused when we’re out and about and also keeps him occupied when he is in potentially uncomfortable situations, so I definitely thought this article was worth sharing.
My step-son also loves loves loves telling us about the planets. This app for iPhone and iPad, allows children to actually point their device at the nighttime sky and it will identify the constellations in 3-D. What’s cooler than that?
Storia Reading App for Apple and Android Devices
Trying to get kids engaged in reading is hard enough, but this app for iPad and Android powered tablets makes reading fun, and trackable for us moms. The free app connects you to a library with over 1,500 e-books easily organized by grade and age level. Cool features such as a personalized book shelf and a reading progress checker makes this app a winner in my book. Hee Hee!
