[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Games on the iPad are like heroin to the ADHD brain. WTF are they thinking??[/quote] In MCPS, this is a pretty standard “break” or award written into IEPs. [/quote] DS is in the MCPS Asbergers program.. The kids have to earn a certain number of points daily and then they are rewarded with choice time. Choice time includes using the sensory table, puzzles, reading, or playing with other toys in the room. For excellent behaviors, he earns extra points. Computer time during choice time costs extra and can only be redeemed once a week. He can play academic games if he redeems his extra points. There is no iPad reward in his IEP. My kid loves his iPad. If other kids were offered that as a reward, I’m sure I’d hear about how unfair it is that Larlo gets to play on the iPad and he doesn’t. I’m guessing that the iPad is not used as a reward in his class.[/quote]
