Grants for iPads

iPads are all the rage now for kids with special needs, especially children with autism. These sites were sent to me by various sources. I have not checked them all out and cannot speak to the quality and accuracy of the information provided. I do think there are many resources out there and if you think your child is ready for and would benefit from a communication device, there is a grant or funding source available to your family. It may just take some extra work to find it.

Here are some of the sites sent to me:

  • ACT Today
  • Danny’s Wish
  • The Adam Scott Foundation Autism Grants Program
  • Apps for Children With Special Needs (A4cwsn)
  • Hollyrod Foundation
  • iHelp for Special Needs
  • The iTaalk Autism Foundation
  • The Puzzling Piece
  • Small Steps in Speech
  • The Conover Company
  • Apple iPad web site
  • Accessibility features
  • The Top Five Tips to Get a Grant to Buy a iPad (article):
  • Friendship Circle Blog
  • Parent to Parent message board
  • Facebook- Special Needs Classroom
  • Special Education MangoMon Blog
  • Autism Society

    • If you have other sites to add, please add in the comment section. If you have had success with a funding source, please share your story.

    He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother

    After my post, Brotherly Love , I received an email from a reader who reminded me of this song. I knew the song, but had never really thought about the words and the meaning behind them. I looked it up and thought others might see the lyrics in a new light.   He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother The road is long With many a winding turn That leads us to who knows where Who knows when But I'm strong Strong enough to carry him He ain't heavy, he's my brother. So on we go His welfare is of my concern No burden is he to bear We'll get there For I know He would not encumber me If I'm laden at all I'm laden with sadness That everyone's heart Isn't filled with the gladness Of love for one another. It's a long, long road From which there is no return While we're on the way to there Why not share And the load Doesn't weigh me down at all He ain't heavy, he's my brother. He's my brother He ain't h

After I learned about this, life with children made a lot more sense to me. Not that this is earth shattering material, but it helped me to better understand the hows, whats and whys of behavior in children, and occasionally husbands. I am in no way an expert in this - just a parent who wants to share a behavior strategy that has worked in our home. I hope to inspire others to explore it further.  Any errors in information comes from me and cannot be blamed on the presenters. Also, you may have seen ABA - Applied Behavior Analysis - connected most often with Autism - please do not let this deter you if your child is not autistic. I use these methods with all my children, none of which are labeled au
