I just submitted a request at The Prayer Child Foundation to help with some of the costs of an Ipad for Vinny. Through listening to some of my HoPE family, Babies With iPads, and doing a little research on my own, I really feel that this would be a beneficial device for Vinny.
Since I know they have funded grants for Ipads in the past, I'm keeping my fingers crossed and HoPEing that Vinny gets his grant too.

New Gear...Approval Pending
We had a rep come out to our house the other day to fit Vinny for some adaptive equipment. Vinny is growing out of many of his seating chairs, so it is now time to utilize our resources and get Vinny the equipment he needs. This process, however, will take about 60-90 days to get approved through Medicaid and ordering. Hopfully by the end of spring Vinny will have his new gear.
I never leave home without my stroller for Vinny, so first on the list is the Kimba Pediatric Wheelchair. This will certainly come in handy for Vinny because it will provide the support and comfort he needs and deserves. What I liked about this chair is that it will grow with him for the next several years. Vinny and I were able to try this one out and with all the options it comes with I thought this would work best for him.
Also on the list is a bath chair. We chose the Otter Bathing System. I haven't had a chance to try something like this out for him, so I am keeping my fingers crossed on this one and hoping that it works out for us.
For all the HPE mommies reading this, any suggestions or ideas would be appreciated. What are your favorite products that worked for your child? They may help out Vinny too.
