“Dr. Mercola” - Could the iPad be a Cure for Autism?
March 16, 2011 March 15 2011
The iPad is a much-loved device, but there may be a new reason to admire it -- an iPad could help reduce the number of violent meltdowns an autistic child experiences each day.
Experts say that the iPad actually can reduce the symptoms of the disorder by helping the children deal with life's sensory overload. The iPad has actually been gaining recognition for helping autistic children since it first came out.
Hot Hardware reports:
“[A] key reason why the iPad works so well for autistic children: it lacks a keyboard and mouse. Without these peripherals, there is less distraction for the children.”
