Hi
I am agnostic about device types
– I’m just reluctantly getting involved in iOS devices to be
honest – but I am curious to know, for
my own understanding, why they are technically not
SGDs?

agreements
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
