Ballyland apps for iPad
Sonokids has specifically designed a suite of educational ('Ballyland') apps that provide an accessible learning pathway for students who are blind or vision impaired. They can develop skills to use an iPad, spatial awareness on a touch screen, navigating by way of touch gestures on a touch screen, and coding/computational thinking.
