As technology evolves, many parents with special needs children are finding some support with devices such as the iPod Touch, iPhone and iPad. Some apps have helped family improve communication, other have benefited the child directly. Apps appear to help in many different ways and are developed by a wide range of developers from well established companies to parents that created their own app to help and support their own children. They main focus being to support children with special needs.
A big player in the community is Gary James. Gary has created Apps for Children with Special Needs (a4cwsn) to help families, carers and the wider community of educators and therapist by producing video app demo to show how some apps have been designed to help children with special needs.
Gary offers an independent source of information that provides valuable info and insight on the project.

American Wordspeller© & Phonetic Dictionary app is great phonetic dictionary that can help and support kids with spelling difficulties and dyslexia. This dictionary app allows you to enter words the way they sound - phonetic – making it easy to quickly find the spelling of a word.
The scope of dyslexia is a lot more than just reversing letters. "It is a broad term to define a learning disability that impairs a person's fluency or accuracy in being able to read, speak, and spell." (Wikipedia). Kids with dyslexia can suffer at school; feel excluded simply because they need to learn in a different way. Quite often in the past, dyslexia was not diagnosed and many kids affected by it were often qualified as slow learners, or even trouble.
I am neither a scientific nor a pro for dyslexia; I am simply a mom with a kid with dyslexia, trying to help and support by looking for tools that can help. The development of mobile technologies and the use of apps on the iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad can help some kids. One of my son’s great struggles is spelling. For years now, he has had difficulties with words. Knowing how to spell a new word is always tricky. At school teachers tell him “if you don’t know how to spell a word look in a dictionary”.
