This weeks picks:
Early Childhood:

Playroom- Lessons with Max by Igromatic (normally $1.99)
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/playroom-lessons-with-max/id594801439?mt=8
Work on finding hidden objects, counting objects by color, simple puzzles, memory game and matching an array. It bounces out items that are incorrect and gives feedback when activity is successfully completed. For several of the games (puzzles, match and memory), it gives a preview of the correct answer/sequence. I would use this in Occupational Therapy to work on visual discrimination, figure ground and visual memory.
Elementary:

Math Master by Lei Zhao (normally $0.99)
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/math-master/id550074724?mt=8
You get a grid of numbers and you have to add 1 or more numbers to get the sum requested. As you progress, the grid gets larger. At the end of each round, you get a grade rating your performance.
Middle-High school:
Cursive Writing abCursive by Yosuke Oki (normally $0.99)
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cursive-writing-abcursive/id617634353?mt=8
This app is intended for older students to learn, trace and write cursive both lower and upper case letters. I would use it with students who simply need modeling and repetition, but either don't need or would get distracted by correction/feedback, cute rewards, pictures or characters. My main issues with the app is that you can't select the font style and I would like the option to turn on/off some feedback (very simple, like checks and x's) to reinforce correct formation and allow for independent practice.

*Disclaimer:
I'm just an AT specialist and School Based Occupational Therapist passing on iOS app deals I had a chance to download, take a few minutes to mess with it 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).
