Clearly, there is no shortage of stupid iPhone apps out there, like the ones featured in this video:
Fortunately, there's also excellent tools, like iPrompts, from HandHold Adaptive, an app "designed especially for parents, special educators and therapists to use with developmentally challenged and language-impaired individuals, like people with Autism, Down syndrome, Fragile X syndrome, and apraxia of speech. iPromptsTM also benefits kids who just need more structure, including kids with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), and even typical, pre-verbal toddlers".
Hopefully iPrompts will inspire other iPhone app developers to devote their time to creating meaningful, transformative tools.
