aeh has given you great advice re how to incorporate video AT into an IEP. We didn't do that with our ds, but during middle school and high school, all students had options in terms of how to put together term "papers" that included choosing video, power-point, speech etc. All three of my kids (including my current 7th grader) know how to create movies, add sound and graphics etc - they learned it by self-teaching and from working with their classroom peers. I couldn't tell you what apps or software they use - there's so much out there.
The only birthday recommendation I have.. and it's more about fun than school work (and I have no idea what software it is or how much it costs), but if you can find or afford it - there are iPad apps that allow you to film with a green screen... totally cool and fun... but you'd also want to create a green screen and get her a green suit
I hope your dd gets to pursue her dreams of becoming a film maker!
Best wishes,
