IPad Grants For Autistic Children
Ipad Grants For Special Needs Children
However, because of the price of an iPad many parents and schools can not afford to supply every autistic child with a iPad. Many organizations that help autistic children also help pay for supplies and tools that allow them to reach their full potential in school and home life. Many times these same organizations will also give grants to help pay for iPads and software needed.
"Danny's Wish" is a non-profit that has a goal to raise $50,000 to supply approximately 100 iPads to children with special needs that needs an iPad the most. To get more information and fill out an application go to Danny's Wish.

What If Grants Do Not Pay For It All?
Many Schools Ask Parents To Help Pay For Students iPads
When schools decide to adapt technology for the classroom such as iPads, sometimes they find they can not find enough grant funding to cover all the costs. They then consider other options such as asking parents to pay for some of the bill. In some schools parents pay $20 a month for each child for a iPad, after two years they then own the iPad. In some other schools, the iPads are on loan and parents are required to pay a deposit or assurance to make sure lost or stolen equipment are paid for.

How To Get A Grant For iPads
A Few Tips To Reduce Time Looking For A Grant
- Read Qualifications Carefully Before Applying For A Grant. Before writing a grant proposal make sure you are not wasting your time by applying for grants that you will not qualify for.
- Define need before looking for a specific grant to apply for. You may waste a lot of time looking from grants that advertise they pay for iPads. Your best bet is to look for grants that help with the specific need you are trying to fill. For example: If your trying to obtain iPads to improve reading skills of first graders, look for foundations with a passion for improving literacy.
- Do not be shy about applying for technology grants. There are many grants to innovate new technology into the classroom. Just be prepared to define how you are going to use the devices in a new way.
- Don't forget to search local and ask businesses to donate. If your a nonprofit or community groups such as a pre-school, nursing home, community outreach program or other community group don't be afraid to ask local business or organizations to help. Get inventive, while you may or may not get one company or group to pay for the whole project, you may get several that will pay it together.
- Research statistics for your project. Don't just tell donors that iPads will help solve the problem you project is trying to improve give them supporting evidence.
- Don't give up at your first few no's. Getting a lot of nos can sometime be daunting but it is just part of the process. Most successful grant applicants have filled out application upon application until they are finally successful.

- I am having trouble finding a direct way to ask apple if I could buy broken ipads to give to children with special needs at the special school where my wife teaches. I am willing to repair broken screens on my own time and I have a fair ability to repair computer devices. I'll need about 200 ipads total, but I like everyone, I've got a tight budget to get the ball rolling. reedfamily1@verizon.net
