Establishing the Efficacy of Using iPads/tablets to Increase Literacy in Special Education By Means of Grants

This project was designed to investigate the efficacy of iPads/tablets on literacy for students with moderate to severe disabilities who are in lower elementary (K-3). To help acquire the iPads/tablets, grants will be explored as viable resources to fund the technology. The proposed study would function as a subsidiary means of supporting the need for the grants. The study involves helping four students with moderate to severe disabilities increase literacy skills using iPads/tablets in conjunction with evidence based strategies such as Constant Time Delay (CTD), Stimulus Fading (SF), Spontaneous Prompting (SP) and Discrete Trial Training (DTT)
