Evernote

Parents need to know that Evernote is a widely used productivity tool that works across multiple platforms to facilitate access to lists, notes, images, sound, links -- almost anything! -- from multiple devices. The app is a great tool for students who need assistance with their executive functioning skills. Included within the app is the ability to make separate notebooks and tag notes for easy access, helping kids with organizational and planning issues. Kids can make separate notebooks for each subject area, and the notebooks are simple with a clean interface for kids who can be easily distracted. Students who benefit from color-coding, highlighting, or enlarged fonts can make these adjustments in the edit tool once they save a note. The microphone feature can be helpful for kids who have difficulty with verbal memory. The speak-and-read feature not only reads text, but also highlights text, which can help students who have auditory processing issues. Premium accounts, available by monthly or yearly subscription, allow sharing for multiple users, but even on the free account, you can share notes or links via email or social media.
