Call Scotland Has a New Updated iPad Wheel of Apps

Call Scotland has just come out with a new updated app wheel! The new iPad Wheel of Apps for Learners with Complex Additional Support Needs has been refreshed and updated! They have had regular queries about useful iPad apps for complex learning difficulties. This poster is their response. The ‘Wheel of Apps’ is not comprehensive, but it attempts to identify relevant, useful apps and categorize them into the areas where an iPad can be a useful learning tool. Note that some apps address a range of difficulties. The wheel features a mix of apps, some of which will be useful for Primary aged learners, some for Secondary aged learners and some with both.

To get a printable version of the iPad App Wheel poster, visit their website at iPad Apps for Learners with Complex Additional Support Needs – A3, portrait (callscotland.org.uk)

To save space, they have not placed individual apps into multiple categories but listed them under a category that is particularly relevant to the app. Links on the electronic version are ‘clickable’ and will take you to the iTunes UK App Store, where you can find out more about the individual apps and download them onto your iPad.
