Virginia father Joe Hill, whose son has autism, created an iPad application aimed at improving communication for children with the disorder.

She said students are more engaged in text when they read it on tablet computers, such as the iPad. The technology also allows students to learn and explore anytime and anywhere, giving them more control over their own learning, Robinson said. The Telegraph (London) (28 Dec.)
