"Children and teens with learning disabilities sometimes have a hard time with social skills and behavior, including reading or communicating nonverbal signals. The following mobile apps may provide your child or teen with some high-tech support. Although we did extensive research on available apps, we also learned that just because “there’s an app for that” it doesn’t mean that it’s right for everyone." Darla Hatton and her teenage daughter have reviewed these 10 apps in Apple products for you to try out. > iEarnedThat > Hidden Curriculum for Kids > Model me Going Places > Tap to Talk > Verbally > Middle School Confidential 1 > Middle School Confidential 2 > Cyber Bullying > Angry Octopus > Your Turn - Kid Timer

"Getting into, paying for, and navigating through college is rarely easy. For students who have been diagnosed with learning disabilities (LD), that struggle can take on even more dimensions. Learning-related issues such as dyslexia, dysgraphia, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) often lead to difficulties in traditional classrooms and on standardized tests; if scholarship applications look foremost at test scores and GPAs, it can mean that LD students lose out. Fortunately, there are resources and scholarships out there that can help." Via Maggie Rouman
