Abstract

A review of the literature has revealed that the learning of preschool children with disabilities can be enhanced through play that includes the use of digital technologies. The iPad offers the possibility of exploration in a new way. However, little information exists on how this technology can be utilized effectively. The focus of this study was to look at the use of iPads by preschool children with disabilities participating in an inclusive classroom. The study looked at the learning the children demonstrated across curriculum areas over twenty- one weeks, the apps that the children chose to use, and parent and teacher perceptions on the use of the iPad by the children.
