Virani speaks to his work teaching special education classes in the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD), and how the integration of technology is changing both the way he teaches, and the way his students learn. Neil shares a touching story about a young man with cerebral palsy and the life-changing impact the iPad has had on his ability to communicate.
