iPhone+and+apps



I have not seen this posted to our Div list, a keyguard for iPad users (in landscape and portrait view - hurray!)

Kudos to our OT friends......

I have found this blog (also a facebook page) very helpful with regard to information about apps:  [] Kathie, kaancas@aol.com, asha div12 listserve, 2/21/11

= This site has a really nice table of AAC apps and provides a quick description of each as well as a rating system. If you scroll down to the bottom, you'll see what they based the ratings on. It was last updated 1/23/11. Note the prices are in AUS$. Hope that helps. [] = = =

Someone else may have responded with this upcoming resource, but during the DAAC Conference in Orlando, Jessica Gosnell, M.S., CCC-SLP from Bost Hospital is developing a type of feature matching web site for the communication apps where you can go after you have made the assessment and know what features you need. This will be posted on the Children's Hospital Boston web site. I believe she is still working on it at this point.

The web site is [|www.childrenshospital.org/acp]

This will only be the communication apps.

Since we are talking about apps, I have a blog where I review SLP apps. I also do video podcasts on the topic. here is the website [|http://www.GeekSLP.com] - Barbara Fernandes, M.S;CCC-SLP

Hi,

We are trying to put together a necessarily incomplete and obviously soon-to-be-outdated list of free and inexpensive (maximum, at the very top, $40. US) apps for mobile devices that could prove helpful for people who need augmentative communication supports.

The attached list represents the first three days of searching, but it will hopefully give you a good enough sense of what we are after so that you might (very kindly) respond to the following questions:

1. What useful apps are not yet on the list?

2. Should we revise the information categories describing each app, or perhaps add another question or category?

3. Do you disagree with any of the assessments we have compiled on each app?

4. Would a list like this be useful enough so that it would be worth updating every 3-4 months?

Thanks very much for any insights you may wish to contribute.
