Here's a quote from Judith Stansfield (taken from the Apple
website):

“When a dyslexic child is using a computer for doing
things like creating Web sites and straight writing, [a Mac
is...] preferable to a PC”

I would say a mac is preferable for a whole range of other
reasons to. It generally is far far more intuitive, the way
it works just makes a lot more sense to kids.

My seven year old can do amazing things on our mac at home.
He creates stunning documents, edits photos, creates music
etc etc to a quality level I know he wouldn't (possibly even
couldn't) achieve on a PC.

This usability is very liberating for SEN kids.
