How's it going? Are you still working a ton? I can't believe summer is about over. I've been so lucky to get this one off, but still have so many projects unfinished. Will most likely be working summers from here on out again, but it was a real blessing to not find a job this summer. Don't know how in the world we would have gotten them all where they needed to be. We're a car shy again, so even having drivers didn't help---have to have something to drive!
Anyway, hope all is well and I get to see you soon. Thought about asking just to ride with you on your next travel tx and sitting in the car just so I can visit with ya!
Take care, miss you,
mary

STL has opted out of this as an option in our loan closet – due to not being able to control the personal device information on it.
The committee felt if people we going to spend money - this would be a good option for entertainment, computer access, and speech generating before moving onto a dedicated SGD. Technically, it is not a speech generating device and should not be loaned out as such.
I was told that there are apps that make the IPAD switch adapted – anyone know about this - or can provide a list?

Subject: iPad agreements
To those AT folks that have purchased iPads and use them as part of a loaner closet...do any of you have a loaner agreement for iPads? I have a typical DME/AT loaner agreement form but was wondering if any of you did one specifically for iPads? (like do you or do you not allow personal stuff on them like music, videos, etc...)
If you have developed a loaner agreement for iPads, will you share?
Thanks,
Alisa
