My cousins daughter has autism and she basically has two choices: a ring of laminated pictures that she can flip through, or a computer that can "talk" for her that's ungodly expensive. My cousin lost her mind when she found out there are iPhone apps that replicate the computer behavior for around $100. Imagine what you could do with an iPad for a kid like that in a wheelchair? It wouldn't be overly hard to mount and they could have a full Stephen Hawking like set-up.
