[quote=Anonymous]My kid had issues with using his iPad in the first year of middle school, and we finally got the administrator to take it away. It was a disciplinary action, so not in the IEP. He could only use it for assignments in class that couldn’t be done on paper. Most classrooms had backup iPads that kids who forgot theirs could use, that he sometimes used. Often he was given assignments in paper. In reality, a lot of what he did on paper wasn’t fell through the cracks because it wasn’t graded. (And at that point, his grades were shot anyway, so we didn’t harass teachers about it.)  Othertimes there were not good accommodations for doing things on paper. Overall, it was a disaster and we barely made it through the school year.

I would suggest trying to find a school environment that better manages it, rather than trying to adapt a screen-dependent classroom for your kid.

Also, I agree with PP- limiting screen time at home is definitely for the best. Use of screens just increases the cravings for the dopamine hit the next time. [/quote]
