to say Veronika loves her iPad is an understatement…..
We got her one just after she turned 2, I had done a fair bit of research into the benifits of iPads for children with additional needs, and at the time we were really struggling as most toys Veronika found to hard to hit, thump, push, kick etc because of her low muscle tone combined with her hemiplegia, to get a cause and effect, so she just didnt engage in play….I remember the day we got her iPad clearly, she just continued to swipe her whole hand all over the screen, but very quickly the learnt to point with her index finger, something she had never been able to do, and within 3 weeks she was accurately pointing at exactly the spot on the iPad screen she needed to get the cause and effect ♥
Today Veronika is learning to use her iPad for her voice, until she can say more words, she has started using proloquo2go, and she is amazing at pointing to just the right spot on the screen…..Veronika now asks for 2 crackers, and a couple of days ago she asked for 3 Blueberries….
