Summary
Concerning learning disabilities, novel word learning is regarded as problematic for children with severe language impairments. Effectiveness of iPad computerized writing instruction was evaluated for the 4th - 9th graders with diagnosed specific learning disabilities (SLD) affecting writing like dysgraphia, dyslexia, oral and written language learning disability [4]. This is a clinical case study of a three year old girl called Lily with childhood apraxia of speech (CAS) and the effects that music therapy has on her treatment [5]. A framework was developed for carers (teachers and parents) to help them create personalized social stories for children with autistic spectrum disorders (ASDs) [14]. Two projects are presented: the Virtual Reality applications Research Team (VIRART) and the COSPATIAL [23]
