How to

 Applications must be submitted by the person with
autism, an immediate family member of the person with autism, or a licensed
teacher, social worker, or therapist. The Technology Grant Review Committee will
review eligible applications based on established criteria and select the iPad
grant recipients. Some applicants will be contacted by staff for follow up
information. All applicants selected to receive an iPad 2 will be contacted on
December 17. Others will receive an email informing them of their
status.
Visit the AutismCares website to apply! You must
create a login and select Autism Speaks iPad Grant.
Note: Please DO NOT complete the application entitled
"AutismCares Application" if you are applying for an iPad. Only those applicants
that complete the application entitled “Autism Speaks iPad Grant” will be
considered.
Note: Only applicants in the United States
will be considered. We cannot accept applications from outside the United
States.
Earlier this year, Autism Speaks was able to award 180 iPads to families
across the USA. Read more about it here!
