Great Apps for Students with Special Needs

It can get difficult to navigate the world when you have special needs. With apps designed to improve reading and speech, to teach life skills, and to promote critical thinking, technology is an effective tool for parents and teachers to teach young children.

Helpful App for Keeping a Daily Routine

All children fare better when sticking to a daily routine, and the Visual Routine app is a great resource for parents. With this application, children of any ability can learn the daily schedule and see what to expect next. Many children with special needs have trouble with transitions, and knowing the schedule ahead of time will reduce anxiety. Keep the day organized with this organizational app that allows for both words and pictures.

Teach Social Cues with an Easy to Use App Social Skill Builder

Many children who have developmental difficulties struggle with peer and adult interactions. Missing social cues causes uncomfortable situations, and trouble making friends. With the Social Skill Builder app, users learn correct social interactions by watching and interacting with short videos. Questions are asked, and the user answers based on the video that was presented. The app teaches critical thinking, problem solving and about friendship.

Improve Fine Motor Skills with the Dexteria App

Fine motor skills are difficult to perfect, and the child with developmental delays may have issues with their fine motor skills. Using an interactive touch screen with sounds, colors and shapes, Dexteria improves fine motor skills on most people that give the app a try. Your child will gain more strength, dexterity and control of their movements using this helpful app.

Promote Calmness and Peace with the Zen Brush Application

Sometimes your child just needs to learn how to relax. This isn’t an easy task for all children, and the Zen Brush App provides them with an art tool to draw casually over the screen. Just like a Zen pad and paintbrush, the user can create all kinds of patterns using the brushes on the screen. This is a relaxing app that requires concentration and sitting still to use correctly. Learning how to calm down is essential for all children.

An Educational App Created Specifically for Children with Developmental Delays

If your child has developmental delays, the Iniji Child Development Game Suite was created with your child in mind. The games are interactive, with bright colors and sounds that keep your child engaged. Teach fine motor skills, spatial awareness, visual processing and more with this suite of games created for even the youngest learners.

From balloon popping, to matching, to more complex pattern exploration, the Iniji Child Development Game Suite can be used by just about anyone to increase manual dexterity and fine motor skills.

When you are looking for ways to help your child with developmental delays learn more efficiently, any number of apps out on the market can help.
