The purpose of this case study was to explore the influence of iPads on reading homework completion of students with disruptive behaviors. Three elementary students with disruptive behaviors (incompliant in doing school homework), ages 8-10 participated in this study. With the use of tablet-based readings, results demonstrated the acceleration of those participants’ reading homework completion levels. Recommendations for future research and practice were provided.
