DON’T LIMIT HANDS-ON LEARNING
I love the iPad, but as with any other electronic device, it can become addictive if you don’t set limits from the beginning. iPads are so easy to use that children with special needs may get very attached to them, and in doing so, limit their abilities and hands-on learning experiences. Sometimes my son, who has Down Syndrome, would rather bring me his iPad and press the dinner menu and point, instead of telling me what he wants to eat. That kind of communication is not allowed at my house, as I know that he can talk and he has mastered all the words to tell me what he wants.
