Apportunities with iPads is a forum originally designed for 20 teachers and parents in the state of Minnesota who are involved in an iPad Project with children who have deaf-blindness. The intent of this forum is to establish a tool that will allow teachers and parents within this project to connect and share experiences about the use of the iPad as an instructional tool with this population of learners. The broader intent of this forum is to weave together the ever-changing face of app use within the field of special education and students with severe and multiple disabilities.

An Ohio school is using iPods and iPads with its students who have multiple disabilities for reading and to improve students' communication, which can help to reduce their frustration levels. Educators say the devices cost less than traditional assistive technology and appear more mainstream, which may concern students in middle or high school.
