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
