Anyways, my question is this, what age do you think she should start with an ipad? She loves electronics, like phones and cameras, etc. My aunt has already talked about getting her one for christmas. Also, if she is to get her one now, where is the best place to go? or does it not matter? Is there a certain GB that is best for the apps that are helpful with autism. She doesnt talk at all yet either. So we are hoping to help her communicate with it. Anyways, just the basic, where, when, what, how ?'s I guess. My aunt first talked about just getting her a cheap tablet, but I told her an IPad would be better because of the Apps geared toward autism and stuff. So I want to give he all the right info, so she isnt wasting money.

This is a little boy who NEEDS this device. This is a family who needs Leo to have his iPad. <br /><br />One of my soccer kids uses an iPad as her means of communication. I shutter to think what her life would be like without it. Her communication would be GONE. Her self injury, which she does out of frustration, would wildly increase. <br /><br />Yay apple!Mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15881590483174001768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5563550.post-40806789489729934282011-06-30T13:45:13.994-07:002011-06-30T13:45:13.994-07:00Awesome news!

It doesn't add any weight to the device and has a nice silicone grip on the outside. We had the cover on when we gave it to him so I'm not sure if Leo would accept his ipad looking differently now that he is used to it. Warren is 4 and has dropped his ipad and although the kraken isn't intended to prevent total destruction, I know it has saved us some terror-stricken suffering. <br />I shared your melt-down pain, sister, this past weekend when while prepping my house to sell, Warren forced closed a door that had a door jamb locked in the open position and ripped it entrely off the house, siding, framing, and all. I sat on the porch drinking a beer and bawling as the neighbors walked by looking very nervous. Sending calming vibes your way!Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08006579756793377812noreply@blogger.com
