How to get your child an iPad from Hearts and Minds

It's very simple: collect old mobile phones and Manchester autism charity Hearts and Minds will exchange them for an iPad:



165 old phones = 1 iPad 2

There are other products available as well for homes and also schools, such as laptops, iPad minis and protective cases:

Note: you do not need to have a child with autism to benefit from this scheme - any family can take part, once they collect the phones.

Using an iPad can help with the following:

...communication

Why does Hearts and Minds run this scheme?
