M-EDGE SuperStylus.  Not an app, but a superb stylus for small hands, or hands with low muscle tone, to hold.  Chunky, with good weight towards the tip and a soft grip.

Shoulder Pain Relief, Neck And Shoulder Pain, Low Muscle Tone, Bamboo Pillow, Contour Pillow, Memory Foam Pillow, Cbt, Odor, Edges
Royal Therapy Memory Foam Pillow, Bamboo Pillow Shredded Odor-Free Pillow for Neck & Shoulder Pain Relief, Support for Back, Stomach, Side Sleepers, Orthopedic Contour Pillow, CertiPUR-US Certified

ISYNTHESIZER.  Not the most glamorous or feature-filled synthesizer in the iTunes store, but maybe its simplicity is why it works so well for Special Needs students.  Kids enjoy the sounds and can really get a lot from the different presets and altering the parameters.  #ipadmusicapps - $2.99 Special Needs Students, Synthesizer, App Store, Simplicity, Feature
