Bridging The Gap
We believe that it is more important to focus on the person who will be using the technology, rather than the device itself.
Bridging Apps is a TX Easter Seals project that curates a database of special-needs-related apps – for all ages, life stages, and disabilities. They launched a new search engine for searching their database now and you can filter results based on age, reviews, etc.
Explore their website for app reviews, articles, and presorted lists of apps by categories.
- examples: AAC, Independent Living, Employment, Health & Safety, Leisure, Recreation, Education, Task Analysis, Speech & Language, Productivity, Travel, etc.
- FAQs “App reviews are written by therapists, special education teachers, people with disabilities, and other professionals who test and review these apps and wish to share their findings and experience to help others. With the special needs user in mind, we intend to provide supplementary information in conjunction with the developer’s app description. For example, for many children with disabilities, age categories provided by the developer may not be particularly helpful in selecting apps because of the scattered skill sets these children possess. Such a wide range of skills can be related to particular disabilities as well as to a whole host of variables, such as individual differences, environment, rate of development, etc.
Their website is available in many languages and is free to sign up for & access.
