Apps for Those with Williams Syndrome

02/14/2018 - 6:14 pm |

Robin Pegg, MEd, COTA/L, ATP, Education Consultant

We all use technology every day to help us complete tasks in an easier and more efficient manner.  Many of these same technology tools are beneficial for our family members with Williams syndrome.

But how do you know which ones to use?  The WSA is here to help.  Technology is constantly changing and the “next new thing” is always out there.  "There's an App for That!", compiled by our education consultant Robin Pegg, contains a listing of apps that have been tried and tested with individuals with WS.  They have been selected based on reliability, ease of use, access, and effectiveness. Click on the link below to see the full report and try these fun and educational Apps with your child today.

Inclusion statement

The WSA upholds the following positions on inclusion.  We believe that:

  • everyone benefits when individuals with WS are meaningfully included in educational, work, and community settings
  • individuals with WS should receive all necessary supports and services to fully participate in their family lives, communities, and society as a whole
  • high expectations should be the norm, and that individuals with WS and their families should decide how they best learn, work, and enjoy social settings
  • “inclusion” is not one-size-fits-all, and will look different for each family based on each individual’s desires and needs
  • inclusion creates a sense of belonging in society, meaningful relationships, and opportunities to achieve dreams
