USA Today (9/12, Boyd) profiles Anthony Leuck of Berkeley, New Jersey, disabled 18-year-old student whose disabilities "make speech and muscle control extremely difficult," noting that "on a recent afternoon at the Lehmann Center, a special-needs school in Lakewood, N.J., Leuck was able to make music" through a program on an iPad tablet computer. "Leuck is among a growing number of special-needs students nationwide who have gone back to school this year with tablet computers. The tablets are growing in popularity for special-needs students because they can be customized to each child's needs, are lightweight and mobile, and give the kids the sense they're plugged into a larger, high-tech community, educators and parents say."
