This is a quick video showing one of the many children with disabilities who are using iPads as assistive technology.    iPods and iPads are great in that they have many applications available that are similar to those of assistive technology that costs thousands of dollars.  They are, of course, touch sensitive and may not be appropriate for all children.  There is also not a super tough, drop-worthy anti-destructive case for the iPad yet.  If students can benefit from the use of a WMD in the classroom and it fits into the students IEP, there may be cause to allow the student to use the device at school.  Something to think about when working with older students with special needs in the art room.
