Students with learning disabilities often have trouble with study skills like organization and remembering what needs to happen and when. These mobile apps can help.
Kathleen McClaskey's insight:
Students with learning disabilities often have trouble with study skills like getting and staying organized—a crucial executive function skill—and remembering what needs to happen and when. Darla Hatton and her teenage daughter have researched and/or tested these 13 apps, and found them especially helpful. They know that every person has slightly different needs, but it’s worth taking the time to find out which apps work for your child.

Reading is the area in which students with dyslexia struggle the most. Luckily, there are mobile apps that can help with functions like text-to-speech and translation.
Kathleen McClaskey's insight:
This is the time of year to check out the apps that level the playing field for learners with dyslexia and reading challenges. If your child is struggling to read, many of these apps can remove that barrier to reading. Also remember that Speak Selection is built into the IOS of iPads, iPhones and IPods. It is an excellent text-to-speech tool that can be used when reading on the go.
Darla and Kaila Hatton tried out these list of apps. Here is what they had to say:
"Reading is the area in which students with dyslexia struggle the most. Fortunately, there are many mobile apps that can help. While we’ve reviewed all of the following ones, and they work well for my daughter who has dyslexia, we also know that “one size (or app) does not fit all.” You may need to do additional research before finding the app that provides the best “fit” for your child."

Looking from a SENCO perspective as a resource that can be used by teachers to get them thinking about using apps for those students with high learning needs. Student voice and autonomy could be increased by having them explore the apps indicated as being useful and give feedback on how and why they think the app would fit with their learning needs.

This site developed by Moms of Dyslexics provides a set of apps that can support dyslexics and struggling readers. As a Mom of an adult dyslexic, I want to thank these Moms who have created this site for families that have a child with dyslexia.
Here are the apps they have reviewed on this site: > Sound Literacy-$24.99 Sound Literacy can be used in conjunction with any curriculum that emphasizes phonemic awareness, phonological processing, systematic phonetic instruction, or word building with ‘meaningful word parts’.
> Dyslexia Quest- $1.99: The Yeti Master will take your child on an adventure while testing working memory, processing speed, visual memory, phonological awareness, auditory memory, and sequencing skills.
> Montessori Crosswords-$2.99: Highly rated and based on Montessori learning methods, this app will aid in the development of reading and spelling skills through phonemic awareness.
> Spell Trekking-Free: Your child will learn to spell while trekking through space on the S.S. Spell Trek.
> Letter Quiz-Free and Full Version-$1.99: Consists of four games to help your child learn letter recognition and writing practice.
> Dyslexic Like Me-$1.99: The purpose of Dyslexic Like Me is to teach the child what dyslexia is and about successful people who also have dyslexia.
> See Read Say-$1.99: The visual nature of a dyslexic can make learning sight words difficult.
