Abilipad is a customizable keyboard and adaptive notepad, with word prediction and text-to-speech. Update: I recently met Cheryl Bregman, creator of the app, and learned that you can make several customizable keyboards for things like practicing typing names, and can swipe between keyboards, making it possible to add multiple keyboards for one document. Visit appytherapy.com to see the endless possibilities from this simple app.
