MDG Advertising created this informative infographic on the use of Apple tablets with kids today. It demonstrates the presence of (Apple) tablets available within families, as well as statistics on the impact of iPads in general education and for specific special needs use (autism-related, alternative and augmentative communication).
Reviewing this infographic brings some questions to mind about the prevalence of mobile technology, use and accessibility of them to all special needs students (or clients) to make information or the device accessible to them. Are we ready to embrace the technology changes projected? What are best practices with their use?
