My son is non-verbal and an iPad is essential for him. However, the screen gets cracked no matter what case I've bought - even an Otterbox.
My kids broke 4 iPads with various covers until I bought the Fisher Price one. It works!
My son receives OT at home and in clinic, and his OT is recommending we change to a clinic only program for increased effectiveness.
