Last school year, Sarah Hall began a tiny experiment using iPod touch technology to help students with autism disorders gain greater independence, communicate more effectively and function better in school.

The Appleton Area School District speech and language pathologist used a $2,000 grant from the Wisconsin Branch of the King’s Daughters and Sons Fund within the Community Foundation for the Fox Valley Region to buy 7 iPod touch devices and the necessary software, including all sorts of learning and behavioral applications.
