New iPad app created to help families develop their story


Hi friends, 
We all know the importance of families telling their stories as part of their advocacy efforts and most of us have been engaged in helping families learn how to do that. Now there's an iPad app to help.

"Telling Your Story" is a tool that persons with disabilities, family members, and other advocates can use to compose and practice the personal story they'll present to elected public officials or other policymakers at all levels of government when seeking policy changes or increasing awareness about disability issues. The app guides users through the steps, from introducing yourself to identifying the specific issue to the best methods for presenting a compelling personal story. After entering the text of their story, an audio recording feature allows the user to rehearse their story. (How cool is that?!) Users can also select and preview a photo they may wish to include.
To use all the features of this app, an iPad 2 or newer is required.
You can view the app in the iTunes Store at http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/telling-your-story/id541403749
