Considering iPad for non-verbal DS?

[laumiere]

DS1 is almost 4 and starting school in October, and we were considering getting him an iPAd as he loves touchscreens. Anyone had this thought/know of any programmes?

There are s couple of applications you can get for non verbal children if you do search on Sn for ipad and I touch

I am planning getting one for ds as well am just waiting check that they got all the little bugs out the system first

DS1 is dyslexic, and getting him to use the laptop has been a massive transformation, typing, reading, educational games, laughing at You Tube etc.

I know it's not the same situation, just a similar experience of how technology has really helped.

I'd give it a go!

caro we've tried a laptop but he's more comfortable with the touchscreen so we will give it a go I think!

Same as roundthebend. Severely autistic ds1 lives my ipodtouch but it's a little too small - I'm really excited about the ipad.
