Many of my students are non-verbal and/or are unable to communicate effectively due to the disabilities they present with. With increasing high-tech options available, alternate means for communication are becoming extremely popular within the special needs population. Sadly, most health insurance companies do not cover high-tech communication devices, such as iPads or tablets; therefore, families are left to fund these on their own. And they are not cheap.
With providing my students the opportunity to trial different communication software on an iPad, you are allowing me to prove to insurance companies that these children NEED these devices to develop language/communication. I am not able to do that at this time as I do not have consistent access to an iPad. With your help, you are giving my students the potential to have a VOICE they may never have otherwise. Think about how much you speak on a daily basis and how hard it would be to go through life without that ability. You can make a difference, a huge difference.
