No, not an issue
here
and several pALS are using their devices ALL DAY LONG (and some during the
night, too).
Wouldn’t a
screen issue
be covered under the warranty anyway?

Sorry
for the cross post. I just received a call from a Dynavox Rep. explaining
an ALS
Clinic ( she did not name) was no longer recommending patients use iPad
because
of the screen wearing out following 2 months of use. Anyone running
across
this issue?
Thanks,

Here are a few more to add to
the
list.
I have a PALS who is using
Auto
Verbal Pro ($9.99) and likes it better than Proloquo2go. PredictAble
($159.99) is an app that recently came out and offers switch
access.

Thanks,
From the screen shot it appears very simple and
user
friendly.
On another note, does anyone have a recent, updated list
of all
the speech apps available out there? Mine is a bit old and out of
date!
