SESI follows
four key principles concerning iPad integration in our classrooms:
I = Involvement
P = Preparation
A = Application
D = Development
Developed by
SESI’s department of curriculum and instruction, under the leadership of Autumn
Kelley with technological support by Adrian Pellew, director of technology, these
four principles form the corners of the learning model our teachers employ to support options for iPad use in fun, creative ways for kids with a wide
variety of needs.

develops educational experiences for students with special needs in ways that

Educators say the devices cost less than traditional assistive technology and appear more mainstream, which may concern students in middle or high school.
