Name: ACT Spell
Price: $2.99
Features: ACT Spell is an interactive spelling application. The user can create wordbanks with words, phrases, and sequences, adjust button size for motor coordination, select different background colors, and was developed with the help of an assistive technology coordinator.
Likes/Dislikes: This app is really cool in the ways that it can be customized for individual students based on their motor coordination skills and how they perform with different background colors. I like that it could be used for older students too, as it's not overwhelmingly childlike. The acronym itself can even be interpreted by high schoolers as being relevant to the ACT test, which might help with buy-in. No real dislikes, other than the fact that the program is limited to spelling games and doesn't integrate other aspects of reading and writing skills.
Recommend: Yes!
