inov8-ed.com created a handout listing apps for language-based learning disabilities in two categories, > apps for remediation and > apps for language support.
inov8 Educational Consulting recently presented with Kimberly Murphy (@kimberlyslp, a speech and language pathologist) at the Québec Provincial Association of Teachers conference.

They covered the language basis of reading, Assistive Technology and Universal Design for Learning, the SETT framework, and app and software recommendations with a number of screen-capture video demonstrations.

Thank you inov8 and Kimberly Murphy for this outstanding resource!
