So bleeping tone deaf. Hey ASS, most people don't have the $500 or so every 6 months to keep replacing iPads, buy new covers, and possibly the app again, because guess what? The app may not transfer to a new iPad. We are trying to get the app on my son's older iPad so that we can send in the medicaid device to be repaired. We are having a hell of a time, and the assistive tech person for our district is going to see if the school will fund the app. It's not always a guaranteed thing that it is a one time purchase. With all the money and influence you idiots have, you could supply other kids with devices and the app yourselves, but do you? Do you honestly believe every child needs a voice that much to do things like this? I have been trying to do things like AAC give aways in my little autism group for years now because I DO believe every kid needs a voice. We had two small tablets donated to our group and I downloaded a free app and plan to give those away to some kids who could use it. That's what a parent who truly believes in communication tries to do IMO. You say there are many resources out there, but fail to list even one?? Ya'll, if you need a possible AAC resource, look into Variety Children's Charity in your area. Here, they give out AAC's (you tell them what app you want, they pay for everything) as well as adapted bikes and strollers. You can also use Medicaid, or even go check out the Tobii Dynavox website for different funding options. There ASS, did your job for you.
