The following is a breakdown of the presentations and the comments, etc. that stood out for me:
Trisha’s Case
Study: S
Thorough background and personality description
PaperPort – take a picture and tap, record and turns into
text – you have to speak clearly and slowly.
iWordQ (co-writer/write out loud)
S has fantastic ideas, but struggles with the writing.
Raz – Kids – annual fee
Tumblebooks – annual fee (free thru Halifax library or
Aspotogan website)
Loved her “Wow” – Those words/moments are what we teach for.
Motivation noted by classroom teacher
Francine’s Case
Study:
Jack in grade 1
Non-verbal, global delay, shows signs of autism
Receives support from early intervention
On an IPP and has access to an iPad at school & home.
Uses Proloquo2go in both places: home
and school.
Sign language was only being minimally used. Success was
almost immediately – requesting a drink. I appreciated the ‘funny’ story.
Francine – you have done a wonderful thing – I hope you feel
good – you should.
Hello coloured pencils
Janet’s Case Study
J is in grade 9, lacks social cues, ADHD and does not
recognize social boundaries. In Fort McMurray was on a Vocational IPP. He
struggles, but tries. He is now on a full IPP: life skills and social skills.
Has an iPod (schedule, he created himself), but he uses AT
more at school.
iPad: iMovie, Pic Collage, pages

Hunger Games iMovie was fabulous – that is so cool Janet and
exciting. He was engaged and matched to his MPT – he had his moment to shine!
Heromaker for his mythology project.
Isaac’s Case

ASD. He has high sensory needs.
He dislikes using sign language. He uses an iPad, with a go
talk program. This is his voice! Backup

Many apps have been used and discarded.
He loves the Crayola stylus.
Tappie app – has worked out very well for him.
Music apps, playing…sands J,
lullabies – calming apps
Interactive books with loud volume he enjoys.
Book creator – social stories
Comic Life – hard copy of social stories.

you do!

Traci, I loved that you took on 3 students and saw success!
Scott’s Case

I agree with you completely Scott- thank heavens for
technology for these students!

Visual schedule has really fostered her independence.
Thank you for mentioning Pic Collage as a picture graphic
organizer.
Paperport – speech to text

Comic life, and Book Creator are apps that will be utilized
more in her future.
