Hi Tracey,
Will do. Should add - this is for a close friend. Both had our kids at the same time. She works so hard to do what's right for him (didn't understand unconditional love - till I had one of my own) and I'm always on the lookout for anything that might help.
May be a while before some feedback - but will post if anything relevant.
We mom's of Special Needs kids often don't know what is inside of us until we have to find it, and to the outside world it's often not seen. She should count herself lucky to have such a good friend.
Every parents wants the best for their child, some of us have to do more to help that child get there. Do i enjoy the 120+ miles and 8 hours a week I spend getting my kids to therapy? Not really, but seeing what they get out of it, well, it makes you keep going and hoping they will end up somewhat independent in life.
OK. Enough sappy crap. I'll keep my eyes open for anything else that might work.
Well, probably not. We have an iPad in one and it would greatly depend on the childs level of cognitive development. But most people looking at the iPad for communications probably aren't going to have a child they would give an iPad in an Apple Case to have full time.
It really truly will vary child to child.... but overall investment and use that it could get would demand a lot of the case. I'd not give my daughter her sisters iPad in the Apple Case to use full time, she is fine with it for short bursts, but i'd want more for a full time communication device.
I would assume the OP's friend is considering Apps like this for a non-verbal child.

And, to the OP, they might have some case recommendations on their website too to check into!
