You know what is really cool? Being able to give away an iPad2 here, compliments of Replace My Contacts.
I couldn’t believe it when they asked me if I’d be interested because, you know, iPads are all the rage among parents of kids with special needs. We even had a guest post on iPad apps that are great for kids with special needs, here. Because of the buzz surrounding iPad apps for kids with special needs, we decided to throw in a $25 gift card to iTunes for app purchases!
For us, the iPad is an educational tool for our son, who needs it to take pictures of the white boards in class or record lectures and it’s made a huge difference. His school encouraged us to get one for him as a way to help him keep up with all the note taking required for middle school. We took out a small loan and bought one. You don’t need a loan for a chance to win an iPad2 from us and Replace My Contacts right here! It’s really simple, too. No videos of you doing cartwheels needed!
Here are the only ways you can qualify. You get:
– one entry for commenting on this post

Thank you for the great giveaway. This would be an amazing gift to be able to gift to my 10 yr. old little nephew and to help his parents who struggle daily with helping their son with Aspergers disease. I love my family and am so proud of my brother and his wife and their continued strength and commitment to their two children..esp. their more challenged son Joey. Thanks for the chance!
