Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours! Twenty-six families now have children who can connect with them through the magic of an iPad because of you! Look how you made a difference:
The iPad has been wonderful for our Gabriel...and not in the way we first imagined it would be. Gabriel is a non-verbal 3 year old that loves to move more than anything else in the world. He runs, climbs, hops and jumps and never sits still for anything. Then we got a headrest mount for the iPad in the car. That changed everything. Now, Gabriel will stand in the back seat and touch, pinch and swipe the screen. While he's buckled in his car seat, he will watch his favorite shows. Since we've started using this device, he's more interested in other people, even making better eye contact! He uses some of the flash card apps we have on the iPad at the kitchen table! We look forward to the day he can use the iPad to help communicate, but until then, we really love the progress he is making just paying attention to it.
Julie waited a year to get an iPad for her daughter...and she is certain that the iPad you provided will make a difference! She is so excited to see her daughter start to learn and grow!
This season we wish you a heart as full of gratitude as these are...because of your gift to Give Kids a Voice!
