Smart Apps For Kids

Best apps for special needs: Practice expressive and receptive language with Key Word Kids

Bottom Line: This app is designed specifically for kids ages 2 to 8 with Language Disorder or Delay, Apraxia of Speech, Autism Spectrum Disorder and learners of English as a second language. It is a great app, especially for receptive language skills, but the price is a little high without the expected level of customization and data collection for a therapy app.

Top 10 Completely Free Educational Apps For Kids! — March 10, 2014!

How it works: I go through the current iTunes top 100 free educational apps list and take out the ones with in-app purchases and ads and also the ones for teachers/classrooms/adults until I have a Top 10 list.

That leaves us with the very long title of Top 10 Current Best-Selling Completely Free Educational Apps!

Best ebook apps: Follow a note as she searches for her instrument in Little Lost Note

 

Bottom Line: A simple story book app with limited interactions that can be read with or without narration. It has a unique night mode to lessen the light and sounds for use as a bedtime story. Follow the lost note as she searches for her instrument.

Good Free App of the Day: EESpeech Lite (FROM $10 TO FREE!)

Well, this doesn't happen too often. A $10 AAC app goes free! And I can't find any info as to how long it will be free so it may be for a very limited time.

I've never used an AAC app before, and the rest of the staff is out enjoying their Saturday, so I'm not sure what exactly to look for here - but I do understand that $10 to free is worth a download if this app might be helpful for your child or student!
