> I think it is amazing what you have started. My son is 3 years old and

non-verbal and we have been thinking about purchasing an ipad when we can afford

it. Your story helped make my decision. Thanks so much for sharing your story

and helping other families in need.

I’m a mother of 4 year old autistic twins; one being a little more verbal than

the other. I shared your link on my Facebook, along with other postings

educating people about autism. Thanks for your work, you inspire me.

> I have an autistic 9 year old son. He is verbal but has a hard time putting

his thoughts into words and has problems with language skills. I am very

interested in how an ipad can help him. Any response would be great.

> I work with an autistic boy who is also 9 years old. He is verbal, but has

difficulty with comprehension and appropriate conversation. I use two apps

specifically for this and they are Conversation Builder and Sentence Builder.

The conversation builder lets him choose the correct response and then he

records his own voice. At the end he can play the entire conversation back. He

loves the iPad and I am seeing progress. I am a Special Ed teacher that works

one on one with special needs students.

> Thank you for the great info and opportunity for families to apply for a

chance to receive an ipad. I am just starting my journey researching using an

ipad or an itouch for my daughter. It brings tears to my eyes to know that we

might be able to find a way for her to communicate her thoughts. I long for the

day she can tell us what she did at school when I pick her up. We are waiting

for a diagnosis of verbal apraxia but I have to wait for our next appointment

with the developmental ped. I know at this time we can’t afford to buy one

since I am unemployed but once we get a diagnosis I am going to look for ways to

raise some funds. I have already sold alot of my daughters clothes and toys to

raise money for speech therapy

> Thank you for what your ministry is doing….it feels so wonderful to have

people care about the struggles we mom’s go thru having a child with autism.

My son is 9 years old and has not said a word since he was 2 years old. I

can’t wait for the day to hear him say “I love you mommy†using some kind

of communication device. I just mailed in the application yesterday and can’t

wait to hear of the children you are helping! Thank you again!!

> God bless this amazing organization and all the wonderful people and donors

involved with it.

> I have a 15 yr. old son who has autism and is compleatly non-verbal.. The

associated apraxia has not only robbed him of his ability to speek , it effects

ALL of his muscles which leave him without the ability to use sign language or a

computer mouse and keyboard . His total and complete inability to express any

form of communication at all, leaves us both devestated.

>

> I recently became aware of an android application for the ipad called †Tap

To Talk †. It brings up pictures that when touched ,literally do the talking

for you.This application , along with the ipads ability to respond with only a

slight touch, would allow my son to express his wants and needs for hundreds of

items !

>

> IF our application would be approved AND there would be an ipad available for

him, it would truly be an answer to our prayers. Thank you so much for providing

a chance for such a wonderful opportunity.

know how to feed himself or interact with people. It would be awesome to get an

ipad.. ive been reading comments and i saw that ipad actually have an app called

Tap to Talk . I think that would help me help him in understanding what it is he

needs. So the ipad will help me and my family alot.
