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.

    Parenting an Adult Child with Disabilities: Talking About the Future

    Ben in the middle with Dad (left), Carla Payne with Aging Care Matters and Mom This is the first of several posts about parenting an adult child with a disability. Ben will be 19 this summer; I am learning along the way. As always, I hope to pass on resources and wisdom. Discuss the future.  If your adult child is able to participate in planning for their future, ask them how they envision it. Let them draw a picture. Ask them to tell you a story. Maybe they can sign a few words that mean a lot to them. Find a way to get them involved. How do they see themselves living? By themselves, in a group home, with another family or with a sibling?
