Site reviews apps for children with disabilities

A website is partnering with Easter Seals to offer reviews of more than 30,000 apps for use in special education, as more children with disabilities are using iPad apps to help improve their cognitive and motor skills and to connect socially. "I'm seeing more interest and drive in those kids when they have something to work for like using the iPad," Easter Seals speech pathologist Brooke Harris said. KTHV-TV (Little Rock, Ark.)

I saw your post of 2008 regarding Jennifer Linnabary, Emploment Coordinator of Project SEARCH. Jennifer co-created Project SEARCH for elevating the livlihood of disabled people through a program that helps them get good, long-term employment. Now Jennifer needs everyone's help for her personal fight against mantel cell lymphoma, a rare, aggressive cancer. She is a fighter and beating the odds, but is financially beaten. Please help by spreading the word and giving whatever you can at: Help Us Help Jennifer Linnabary Fight Cancer - http://helpjenniferlinnabary.blogspot.com
