00:00:03,380 --> 00:00:08,149
We just recently bought an iPad for our practice. so we have been using lots of

2
00:00:08,149 --> 00:00:12,819
different speech and language applications on the iPad

3
00:00:12,819 --> 00:00:16,131
uh... and these boys in the special needs unit ...

4
00:00:16,131 --> 00:00:19,469
We were just really working on

5
00:00:19,469 --> 00:00:22,652
getting him to communicate, engage

6
00:00:22,652 --> 00:00:27,199
and initiate conversation with me, and talking about one thing together.

7
00:00:27,199 --> 00:00:30,515
And we were really had a lot of trouble doing that

8
00:00:30,515 --> 00:00:33,997
for about...we were trying to do that about least thirty minutes every week and

9
00:00:33,997 --> 00:00:37,844
he just had a lot of behavior issues and sensory issues.

10
00:00:37,844 --> 00:00:42,410
He seems fine on the iPad though. He now knows my name ... is excited when he sees me,

11
00:00:42,410 --> 00:00:47,651
and really wants to be involved in using the iPad and with the iPad

12
00:00:47,651 --> 00:00:53,714
we have been able to record his language use and his words and his sentences he's making

13
00:00:53,714 --> 00:00:57,795
and that he often runs into the class and shows his teacher.

14
00:00:57,795 --> 00:01:01,795
Now he's motivated to learn which has been a really great experience.
