The iPad was way out of my reach, but I did manage to get my grandson an Innotab by Vtech. I had a $15 off coupon from JCP and got it for $64.

We plan on loading it with pictures of familiar objects so he can scroll through and show us what he wants at any particular time. We are really hoping this will help with some communication. He loves iPhones and can use them surprisingly well for a two and a half year old that only speaks about five words.

It is actually amazing how well he does on some of the free apps on my iPhone, such as the alaphabet games. We didn't even realize he knew all of his alphabet, even though his occupational therapist had told us that she suspected some hyperlexia.

I am really interested in looking more into the MeMoves.
