In the video below, from http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWli1-84CNQ, a mom contacted a news station about her daughter who has autism. Her daughter was nonverbal and had difficulty expressing her wants, needs, and general thoughts. The news station gave her an iPad to try with her daughter. Her daughter was able to tap on different faces and express her emotions and feelings. This is something she couldn't really do effectively before the iPad. Since her daughter had such success with the iPad, the news station donated a new iPad to the family. Now the daughter is able to communicate much more effectively and even tell her mom when she wants to play with a certain toy! My heart just melted when the mom realized that the news station had donated an iPad to her family, so that her daughter could live a more fulfilling life.
