How Autistic Children Communicate Through iPad 2
Some autistic children communicate well through the iPad.

You wouldnt believe what occupies my son — iPad 2, and without it, where would we be? Frogger, Jigsaw Puzzle and Prologue 2 are only a few of the games my son plays, but you would be amazed at how this little boy communicates through these games.
On Prologue 2, when my son needs a drink, he goes to the iPad and pushes drink. When my son wants a certain food to eat he lets us know by the iPad, and when he wants a certain game he continues to use the iPad. Since he is non-verbal, this is his only communication.
As we know, technology has come along way and continues to do so. As for communication systems like Prologue 2, they are new ways for our children to communicate in their own way — and a way for us to learn their way. Prologue 2 runs $200 and can be easily downloaded onto your iPad.
