The HollyRod Foundation is donating Apple iPads to kids with autism who are either nonverbal or have severe difficulty communicating. Fortunately, the iPad in combination with special software can give many of these kids the ability to communicate. To receive an iPad, families must meet income requirements. Software for the iPad will be purchased with a gift card from the foundation, and a professional (speech pathologist, doctor, teacher) working with the child must take responsibility for the card.
To apply, download and complete the application here: http://fifthfreedom.org/u/55. ("Holiday 2010 iPad Application" at the bottom of the page.) If clicking the link does not work, copy and paste the link into your browser's address bar.
Attach some documentation of your child's diagnosis and verbal abilities, and financial need. Applications are due by 11:59 pm on December 31, 2010. Grantees will be notified in January of 2011.

I have a son with autism who has limited verbal abilities. We exceed the income but still would like help applying for a grant for an Ipad. Could you point me in a direction for the people who still need help but exceed the income?
