Catrinaf25 Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Hi I don't have a lot to spend but I am looking for a Kids Learning laptop that has word pad or something where he can type out words on it. It would be for a autistic child that just surprised his mom that he can type and talk to her! Does anyone know if there is a toy one out there like this?

my2aboys Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 I've been looking for the same thing but haven't come across one. How AWESOME that your child can talk to you this way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbrawn26 Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 http://www1.alphasmart.com/products/neo_In.html this is 219.00 so kind of expensive but it's what my son's ed tech uses at school with him. I thought maybe I could find a deal on a word processor but no such luck so far they're all over 200 =( My son is verbal but some of the other autistic kids use word magnets on the fridge to communicate if you thought that might help.. just a suggestion. There are some here for $17.00 to $30.00 http://www.kidtronic.com/mywordmagnets/shop/shop.php?categoryid=2&page=0&rand=bXzCQOBs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How AWESOME that your child can talk to you this way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Not my son but a friends son. But Awsomeeeeeeeeeee the same. I also have a autisic child however mine is also blind. He started expressing him self 2 years ago and now answers questions and talks to us at times! What a blessing it is when our children are finally able to tell us " I love you mom!"
