ipads in special education......a must.  Though the research is limited in whether ipads are effective or not in special education classes with special education students; it is time for a change.  Little has been done in special education classes to aid students to be successful.

Special education classes house several different students with several different needs.  Basically, those who learn differently or are labeled "abnormal" students, who dont fit in the norm are put into special education classes.  This poses a huge problem that is not being addressed.  How is one teacher and an aide able to accomodate children who are of all different spectrums of learning, needs, behaviors, etc.

Bringing the ipad in will allow teachers to individualize the learning to each specific child.  Though there may not be programs available currently for each childs special needs, this will initiate the need for more and diverse programs.  If the special education world creates a demand for such programs, eventually supply will be met.

In regards to the video provided where special education students were utilizing the ipad programs it exhibits a more positive approach rather than a negative initiation to better serve the special education population.

It is time for a new age of learning and i believe that the ipad is the solution.  Better to try something than nothing.  It is time for a new age of learning, special education students have sat in the dark ages for too long.
