Apps for Down Syndrome

Special iApps have a long-standing reputation for developing educational apps for Down syndrome.

Children with Down syndrome find iPads and other tablets very engaging. However, without the right apps they can easily become frustrated and disillusioned.

What Our Users Say

"Because Colin and Beverley have William they know what works and what doesn’t. They are personally invested in every app they develop. It’s reassuring to know that all their software is extensively tested by parents, teachers and children. It makes a massive difference"

Lucy Martindale, Parent and Special Educational Needs Coordinator

"There is a particular pleasure in being able to discover and show to parents something which neither I nor they were aware that their child could do, this has happened more than once! Special iApps are a welcome addition to our toolkit."

Hilary Stock, Computer Specialist at The Champion Centre
