Guest guest Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 , What is the waiver you mention in this email? Stacey ________________________________ To: polymicrogyria Sent: Sun, February 13, 2011 8:52:13 AM Subject: IPAD and apps  My daughter Kamby, 9, pmg, has been using an IPad at school since Sept. The school just ordered the proloquo2 for her the 1st of Jan. I had the opportunity to visit with her one on one aide at school the other day and watch Kamby using the app. AMAZING is all I have to say!  In one short month Kamby is already making complete sentences with the app and is able to communicate exactly what she wants. The thing I really like about the app is that not only can you use their preloaded pictures but you can use your own pictures and you can put the text you want to them! So every picture she chooses also speaks for her. We are in the process of getting this for her IPad at home too!  On another note...for those of you who think you can't afford all this...if your child is on a waiver you need to look at them paying for it. Kamby's waiver was going to buy the IPad for her and then some awesome person gave our family one right before christmas. Now they are going to buy the app for her from her waiver.  , mom to Kamby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 Stacey, I sent you an email explaining it better, but in short Kamby has qualified for a Medicaid Waiver position in our state. Through the waiver there are other " funds " available than just paying for the medical bills. These funds can be requested to be used for things that medicaid won't cover. It's a complicated program, but has helped us with a lot of things medicaid won't pay for...such as baby wipes, equipment, pool membership so we can take Kamby swimming, and now the app for the Ipad. > > , > > What is the waiver you mention in this email? > > Stacey > > > > > ________________________________ > > To: polymicrogyria > Sent: Sun, February 13, 2011 8:52:13 AM > Subject: IPAD and apps > >  > My daughter Kamby, 9, pmg, has been using an IPad at school since Sept. The > school just ordered the proloquo2 for her the 1st of Jan. > > I had the opportunity to visit with her one on one aide at school the other day > and watch Kamby using the app. AMAZING is all I have to say!  In one short > month Kamby is already making complete sentences with the app and is able to > communicate exactly what she wants. > > The thing I really like about the app is that not only can you use their > preloaded pictures but you can use your own pictures and you can put the text > you want to them! So every picture she chooses also speaks for her. > > We are in the process of getting this for her IPad at home too!  > > On another note...for those of you who think you can't afford all this...if your > > child is on a waiver you need to look at them paying for it. Kamby's waiver was > > going to buy the IPad for her and then some awesome person gave our family one > right before christmas. Now they are going to buy the app for her from her > waiver. >  > , mom to Kamby > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
