In the news - May 2013

Manchester Evening News May 2nd 2013

Cheryl Broadfoot and her son Bobby featured in the news again after he obtained his new iPad through the Hearts and Minds mobile phone recycling scheme.  She was also interviewed about the scheme on Radio Manchester on 23rd May - this is a wonderful interview about the benefits of iPads for children with autism, featuring Bobby's first word...

Could an iPad help your child too?

If you live in Britain, simply collect 165 old mobile phones and the Manchester-based charity Hearts and Minds will exchange them for a new iPad.
