Case Study Presentations

The next case study was done on "S" who is an 8 year old student in grade 3 who has a diagnosis of A.D.D. http://www.cmha.ca/mental-health/understanding-mental-illness/attention-deficit-disorders/   "S" loves using the iPad which is great way to encourage her to complete her writing assignments. "S" has some great ideas but really struggles with writing them down, some programs that have worked well for her are i-word-Q and paper port. She has also been enjoying tumble books which is free through the Aspotagan School website and Halifax Regional Library

The next case study was done on a young man named Jaden who really enjoys using the iPad. Jaden has had a couple of brain tumours but they have been removed and he is doing well. He enjoys using the app Book Creator and Co-writer http://www.donjohnston.com/products/cowriter/index.html to assist in his writing. Jaden is described as a student who like so many others has great ideas but has difficulty in getting these ideas written down on paper. He also really enjoys using Raz Kidz http://www.raz-kids.com/main/Login and iMovie which is a great app that most students have fun using.





Francine did her case study on Jack who is a grade 1 student who is non-verbal and shows some signs of autism. He has some trouble with fine and gross motor skills and uses minimal sign language. He has even had trouble with the sign for bathroom which would lead to severe frustration. He has been having success with the program Proloquo2go which is one of the best communication programs I have worked with. With Proloquo2go you can make the cells for specific things like bathroom very large and colourful so that it is more accessible to a student like Jack.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zuKv0Z2_HMo
