Using iPad Apps for Learning Disabilities & Struggling Students!

Increasing educational achievement and educational technology are hot topics. Need an articulate, well-educated and dynamic speaker to discuss Educational Technology and the use of iPads to increase student achievement?

Jennifer Kaufman has appeared on radio and television shows speaking about the use of technology in education both at home and in the classroom.

Jennifer Kaufman can discuss:

>>Apps that increase student achievement
Using apps as a low-cost and often free solution to help struggling students with reading, writing, organization and communication.

>>What is Assistive Technology and how can it help my struggling or learning disabled child?
Assistive Technology is a growing, high tech field that many people are unfamiliar with. Using the right tool to help a student compensate for a learning challenge can make a world of difference. In much the same way that my reading glasses help me read without being indicative of my intelligence, assistive technology can help a dyslexic or otherwise learning disabled student accomplish their school assignments and allow them to reach their full potential.

>>Free and low cost apps and website solutions for struggling students.
Apps for reading, apps for writing, apps for voice recognition and apps for organization, let me show your audience how they and their children can benefit immediately from the use of the right educational app.

>>Using the iPad to increase grades, productivity and/or communication.

>>The Curb Cut Effect
How advancements in technology for specific groups of people help us all.

Jennifer Kaufman is based in the Metro-NYC are and can do all interviews by phone or near her NJ home (or in NYC). She does have availability to fly anywhere with a day's notice so she can let her current clients know. (They are used to her media schedule.) However, if a local, non-LA or non-NY in-studio interview is needed, Ms. Kaufman requests travel be arranged for her or a satellite interview from NJ/NYC be arranged. Her PR team will entertain all requests so if you have interest, please let us know.
