Abstract

This study examined the benefits of using the iPad in the special education classroom for literacy instruction. Research was conducted in a self-contained special education classroom setting. Data was collected through formal and informal observations in the classroom as well as from teacher questionnaires. The findings showed that the students in the special education classroom benefited greatly from using the iPad to reinforce instruction. In order to determine the full potential of the iPad in the classroom for literacy instruction more research needs to be conducted.
