Welcome to BridgingApps! Many teachers have found using mobile devices with their students with and without disabilities to be beneficial in numerous ways. However, finding appropriate apps and accessories to meet the needs of your students and your classroom can be challenging and confusing. We view our website as a shortcut in that process. We focus on apps that have been designed to address a particular need or have been creatively adapted by users to meet a specific need. Finding apps is just the first step in an exciting journey of discovery with your students that will involve trial and error. All of the app reviews on our website have been conducted by therapists or special education teachers, and they have been trialed with someone who has a disability. We invite you to explore these pages to help you find the tools you need to get started and to share best practices with us on your journey of discovery.

"We believe that it is more important to focus on the person who will be using the technology, rather than the device itself. We assume that you are here because you want to improve a skill or creatively compensate for a deficit that may be preventing a person with a disability from maximizing their highest potential."
