iPad, assistive technology evaluation

[Guest guest]

A friend asked me about iPad and assistive technology for a teen who is

non-verbal.

She is especially interested in any sources who could help evaluate if this is a

good option for her son. (Websites, checklists?)

She knows she can do a 1-month trial, but before she makes arrangements, she'd

like to know what skills are important to use this successfully. She would also

like ideas & tips for how to effectively use that 1-month trial.

I've read with interest about the seminars, etc., on the topic, but did not save

them. I think my friend wants real-life suggestions from real parents.

I'm happy with private replies.
