*Disclaimer: I'm just passing on iPad app deals I had a chance to download and I found interesting. These apps may not apply to your student and/or may not be considered an Assistive Technology tool (An app that applies to your student's IEP goal(s) they are not making progress in despite the modifications in place). 

Appy Friday!
