“I think it is the most amazing device that has ever been created for special needs students.  I cried when Steve Jobs died,
because I truly feel the iPad/iPod has changed my child’s life.  The iPad is an intuitive device that allows children of almost
every ability level to access the amazing learning tools it has to offer.” - Parent of young child with Autism
