EDA Play Apps

EDA Play apps are designed for young children with visual impairments and multiple disabilities.

EDA Play applications (apps) are designed to help train visual and motor skills in children.  All apps run on a regular size iPad, but not an iPad-mini, nor iPhone, nor iPod Touch.  The black background and bold contrasting colors may appeal to children with CVI (Cortical Visual Impairment).
