Parents also need to make certain all family members are prepared if there should be an emergency situation at home.

iPad Educational Program

Classes offer professionals and parents the hands-on opportunity to learn the latest, most innovative ways that technology can enhance learning and communication for an individual with special needs. Topic focused sessions discuss and demonstrate apps that support skill development so see what’s out there to support your child or student!

Whether the diagnosis is autism, or another learning disability, SI walks with you through the exciting and challenging world of technology integration. We can succeed TOGETHER!

HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER FOR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT TRAINING

“The iPad inservice was a great success! Karen Velocci tailored the workshop to the needs of the Mercer County Special Services School District’s staff including, classroom teachers, speech therapists, occupational therapists, and physical therapists. willing 3 Every discipline was able to gather information to assist with the use of technology within their classrooms or therapy rooms. So many tricks were learned that allow us to restrict access and customize an iPad to meet student needs. This was such a valuable inservice and we will continue to offer this to our staff.” …. Nick Pappano, MCSSSD, SLP
