In our last issue of Perspectives, we described early implications of using Apple iPads in early intervention services provided by our Infant & Early Childhood Program.
Since then, Junior Blind launched a study to investigate the use of the Apple iPad to strengthen or initiate visual engagement, parental interaction, communication, visual attentiveness, reaching and/or activation for children with visual impairments and/or multiple disabilities.
Initial results have been promising with one hundred percent of the children using an iPad showing improvement in length of engagement, communication, visual attentiveness, reaching and activation.
Final results from the study will be published later this year. For more information, please contact Laura Campaña, Director of the Infant & Early Childhood Program, at (323) 295-4555, ext. 295, or This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .
