I am a SENDCO at a mainstream primary school. We have a child in school in Year 1 with CP. I am looking for the latest in ipad technology to help with writing in particular. Our child is able to hold a pencil, pen etc but has very little strength/ control/ spacial awareness therefore his writing does not reflect his cognitive ability, which is average.

Thank you for the useful ideas for writing.Are there any parents who know of good apps that they use at home, or that their child's school uses?0
