iPAD TRAINING

Parents are able to invest in an iPAD using their child’s FaHCSIA funding.

All parents are offered a consultation service before purchasing the iPAD as appropriate use of this device is integral to their child’s therapy.

It is initially offered as a management tool for communication and behaviour to the parents and once the child understands the boundaries for accessing it as a therapy tool, increasing access for the child under the parent’s supervision is advised. If the iPAD is offered to a child with ASD without initial supervision, the tools loses the impact it is capable of offering.

Parents are asked to complete an agreement before investing in the iPAD or iPOD Touch.

Robyn offers training and manual support in setting up the iPAD as well as advice on which apps to invest in according to your child’s needs.
