Remember many of these apps work for many age groups!
Apps for Early Childhood:
123 KIDS FUN NUMBERS by RosMedia (normally $1.99)
Kids fun numbers has several activities all working on counting from 1-10 (say numbers, show numbers, number identification). Occupational Therapists can work on visual perceptual (eye tracking, visual discrimination) and fine motor skills (fine motor precision, dragging).
Tap to Unlock by RTC Hubs Limited (normally $4.99)
This is a game that works on tapping the iPad screen. Good for Occupational Therapists working on finger isolation and visual processing speed. Beware of ads though!
Apps for Elementary:
The Maze Tilt Game by Geeky Lemon Development (normally $0.99)
This is a tilt game where you have to make one block slide and touch another block. At first the track is the whole page and then it narrows it down and adds the maze as you get better at tilting. Occupational Therapists will like this app for eye tracking and hand-eye coordination. Beware of ads!
Skip Math: Skip Counting Games by Justin Holladay (normally $0.99)
This is a tilt game like doodle jump that works on skip counting. You can select the number that you are skip counting by and work on how far you can get skip counting. It takes a little time to get used to how it works, so make sure you work on it and demonstrate it to your student so they don't get too frustrated. Occupational Therapists can work on eye-hand coordination, eye tracking and visual processing speed.
Apps for Middle/High:
Writeable by SecondGuess Aps (normally $9.99)
This is a word prediction app that will read the choices to you (swipe horizontally to preview). It has some phonetic spelling support. Writeable has an OCR feature (take a picture and it translates it to text). When I tried the OCR feature it took several minutes to process and then it all came out as garbage.
Adobe Voice by Adobe (I couldn't find its typical price)
Make an easy voice annotated videos using camera, your photo roll or creative commons photos. It has a built in tutorial to help you get going, but it's pretty intuitive otherwise.
