BridgingApps

Easter Seals has an online resource to assist with learning about technology. Bridging the gap between technology and people with disabilities, BridgingApps is a volunteer community of parents, therapists, doctors and teachers that shares information on how to use the iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch and Android devices with people with disabilities. Increasingly, mobile devices are able to provide accessibility for people who may have been previously disengaged from the world because of challenging language, motor, or other developmental delays.
