iPad for learning disabilities, elevating our child's potential

Please forgive the video quality. This was taken by me with my cell phone while I was rather overcome watching Daniel use a pen for the first time.

We purchased an iPad for Daniel (age 13) 2 weeks ago. He has shown mental and fine motor skills growth each time he uses his iPad. We bought the Targus iPad pen this evening and took this video of Daniel using a pen/pencil for the first time in his life without hand over hand assistance.

Hello. Thank you for your kind words. I am sorry for the delay in responding. Yes, you may use Daniel's photos/video in your presentation. The iPad has helped Daniel to hold and drag items to their appropriate places, match objects/colors, put puzzles together, trace, color, write, chose between objects. He is more patient, understands more verbal cues and is not so easily distracted by activity/noise surrounding him. His continual growth gives us hope that he will learn to communicate better.

Hi there, fascinating video , I work with guys with Learning disabilities and am really interested in the potential of the I pad to help them learn, is it ok to share your video on my Facebook page please? Many thanks

[rizzobitz]

Hello. Yes. Please do share this link for educational purposes. We are very happy with our son's continual progress and would love for others to see that their child or student has the ability to progress. Daniel has been making physical and mental connections I had only dreamed of seeing. I've shed many happy tears watching him learn.

If you would, please send me a link to your facebook page.

Your blog, lilliespad, is wonderful! Daniel is using "Bob Books Magic #1" application. He became very proficient at holding and dragging items through motivational game apps. such as Sound Shaker, ClickySticky, air hockey and My First Maze. They got him past the tap, tap, tap phase and readied him for apps. like Bob Books, Lunchbox, puzzles... ABC Connect is a new favorite of mine. Daniel has over 140 educational apps. so far.

Thank you for your reply, I shall be presenting this thursday. I'm so glad to hear that you've found a tool to really unlock your sons potential. I'm doing further research into other ways technology can help with communication. If you would like I can let you know what I find out and maybe you can try it with daniel. Kind regards hussain

Hi. This a great video, and you have a beautiful son. I'm a medical student in london UK and I'm doing a presentation on modern technology imrpoving communciation in patients. I was wondering if you would give me the honour to use some of the photos on the website and this video in my presentation. If you do, then any information that you think may help me paint a picture of how the ipad has improved his life would be great. Thank you x
