Benefits of mobile learning for students with special needs.....

I've seen it in action.  Mobile learning is very beneficial for special education students, especially those with severe learning disabilities. By mobile learning, I'm specifically talking about iPads (or other tablets).  You can bring the learning directly to the students, whether they be wheelchair bound or have limited mobility.  Tablets are also perfect for students who have limited visibility.  Tablets can be held very close to the students allowing immediate interaction.  

Educators and app creators have noticed the benefit of using iPads with students with special needs. There are now many apps that are geared toward these students. 

If you haven't tried using an iPad or other tablet with your students, try it soon and you'll see the learning that can happen.
