60 Minutes recently ran a piece on their October 23, 2011 show about iPad Apps that help students with autism.

Even thought the focus on the show was autism, what they are really talking about is how teachers and families can use the iPad and other tablet devices to aid in communication. It's a really amazing new branch of technology that is helping many, many kids.

You can read more about the program and the apps they discuss here or watch the entire video on the 60 Minutes website here.
