Very angry 2 year old

only picture i have of him not crying during his eeg
my son was diagnosed with autism last year he is 2 years old, the iPad was recommended by his Dr at Kennedy Kreiger here in Baltimore Maryland, unforchantly we can not afford to buy one
my son (John) has autism, he is non verbal and is very angry because he is unable to communicate with us. The ipad will give him a good solid foundation of communication, we have been unable to find any other way of communication with him including sign Language, verbal, writing (hes to little for) nothing has seemed to work. please help my little boy to be able to tell me what he needs and wants.

I work for The Developmental Disabilities Administration in MD. We have a program called Low Intensity SupportServices (LISS). Currently, the funds are out but we may get extra funding before July 1st when the next year's funding becomes available. Check out our website www.DDAMaryland.org and call one of the LISS providers and keep checking with them to see if funding becomes available before July 1. If not, you can apply for that funding. You can also find the number for your local regional DDA office and call to ask for other resources that may be available in your county. I hope this helps!

Hi, I understand your need. I also have asked for an IPAD for my son who is autistic. There are cheaper models but all the software are for the IPADS. That makes it difficult. I hope that you get your IPAD. I hope i do too ! Good Luck ; )

There are cheaper tablets that work just as well! My 3 year old has a tablet that his dad bought for like $99, he also has autism. Try checking Best Buy and Walmart. I wish I could help you, Good Luck!!
