I just saw on tv tonight about the progress that has been made with non-verbal autistic children using I-pads. It showed children that they could not get to respond to what they were trying to teach by regular methods, but when they tried to teach the same concepts with an I-pad, they would respond. They told of one little boy that they thought had the IQ of a toddler that when using the I-pad, they were amazed at how much he knew. Here is a link to it:

I hope the link works.
