This is my son Alex and he's autistic.
Today I was invited to his school because he was to recieve an
award for his class. It isn't very often that we're able to celebrate
how well he's doing. One of those reasons is because of the iPad that
his teacher purchased for his class to use.
As I sat down with
him and began to watch him interact with this product I was completely
astounded! He knew how to navigate between the apps to find the right
one to work with, I had never seen him work so calmly and focused.
Before I knew it I was watching him easily sort small objects with the
right colors as well as counting the objects quietly to
himself.
As I left his school that day I had to take a moment in
my car to cry tears of joy. Usually when people see Alex he's twirling
something in his hands, flitting around, being loud or even trying to
be rough. But with that wonderful little iPad I was able to sit down
with my son and actually work on something with him, something I
haven't been able to do with him in the six years he's been on this
earth.
Thanks to that iPad at school my son can easily identify
over ten colors, can count aloud to twenty and can recognize the
numbers, knows his abc's and can identify most with help and his
vocabulary has increased more than double this school year.
If all of our close friends and family only donate $5 we'll
easily be able to buy an iPad for Alex's home use. With this iPad he
has a better chance at an easier life. Please even if it's only a
dollar any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
The money donated will go to covering the cost of the iPad, a
protective case, a two year extended warranty and the last couple of
dollars will go to pay for Alex's educational applications.
