Good apps for individuals with special needs can be hard to find - in particular, apps with simple menus to facilitate independence.  Following is a list of apps which have passed the test! 

Pictello - listed as one of the 13 best apps for special needs in 2012.  Simple interface, and awesome for creating social stories!  Can record your voice to read script. 

VisTimer - a wonderful visual timer that uses a shrinking pie.  Does not have the 1 hour limitation that the non digital versions have.

Jigsaw Puzzle - simple interface.  Has different levels of challenge. And importantly, can use own photos! 

Any other good ones out there??
