A mini iPad for Colt to play on while he's home for the summer
Posted May 7, 2024
Colt is excited about the end of the school year but is worried he'll miss his friends from school. He asked for an iPad mini to keep him entertained over the summer and while he travels to visit his mom. He hopes to continue to work on his reading and play educational games on his little tablet. Colt has spent a while in foster care, and with many moves, he is behind on his academic goals because he didn't get the early services he needed, like speech or attending a developmental preschool when delays were first noticed. Luckily, his grandparents advocated for him to be enrolled in services once they became placement, and he has attended an amazing Pre-K that has encouraged him and helped him to develop some skills he'll be able to take with him to the next grade level. Downloading educational apps centered around reading, writing, letters, and numbers will help him continue to learn and retain the information he learned in pre-k. His elementary school doesn't offer summer school, so this tablet will help him continue his learning over the summer. Colt also travels numerous miles multiple times a week to visit his mom for her court-ordered visitations. Colt would love to download some Netflix shows to keep him entertained while he travels. This mini iPad will be a wonderful asset for this sweet little guy!
