• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

I recently won an iPad2. It was worth around $400 when I won it. I am now hesitant to put it in my daughter's hands. She is 17 and non-verbal with a mental age of 18 mos.

I'm thinking of buying an iPad. but I know almost nothing about it.
It is like a lite version of a notebook computer. It isn't a computing powerhouse, but it is helpful to have and use where portability is required.

The built-in cameras are a nice feature. Right now, I have a calculator and simple spreadsheet* apps and I am in the process of downloading some board game apps (like checkers) to play with my sons, like in a doctor's waiting room. I also have a remote desktop app (that I haven't set up, yet). Once it is set up, I would be able to access my home computer through the iPad whenever wi-fi is avalable.

*I use the spreadsheet for grocery shopping tallies and in score-keeping with regular, boxed games (like Scrabble).
