  The cool part is that in comparison to computer games we can actually quite often get the kids started with the Ipad and I phone aps and that is a huge start"!

  If you want a game you can play I like Ifarkle free, 7 words.

      Do you realize that none of the apps listed are accessible to the blind?

      Just my two cents,
