HS-620: Special Topics: Using the iPad to Support Children with Disabilities

3 credit hours
The iPad is changing the way we engage in varied life activities. This technology embraces universal design and principles of universal design for learning (UDL) and enables children with significant disabilities to learn, play, engage and participate in ways never thought possible just a few years ago. Students will engage in learning outcomes designed to enhance knowledge of iPad use with children from early childhood through adolescence for learning, community living, and play. The iPad is a tool for delivering multimedia content and embraces the use of multi-modal learning. This technology finally levels the playing field to support all children including those with disabilities.
