From AbleNet, Inc. || If you look in their catalog, you'll see how the iPad Cradles work with this mount. We've used this mount with a large mounting plate and used Velcro to attach the iPad. We've each worked with a student using switche(s) to scan in their communication apps. But we feel that anyone who is a direct selector should use a stronger mount.

I like how easy it is to adjust this mount. The joints are adjustable for longer or shorter arm lengths.

Reviewed by: Anthon McLaws, OT and Laurel Buell, OT || Our experience is that this mount is better with a switch but not too strong with an iPad. Especially not a person who is a direct selector. || $370 will get you the mount, Super Clamp, and the iPad cradle. || 1) They are very easy to install. There is a single tool for all adjustments. The bottom two joints are adjusted with an Allen wrench. The top two joints are adjusted with a friction knob. After installation, we still can't believe how much time we've saved. 2) During the evaluation, we take photos of the chair and send them to REHAdapt. They will send back the photo with the mount superimposed on the image. This makes installation much smoother. 3) They are strong. 4) They are lightweight.

For an iPad, it mounts to an iAdapter Case (with special bracket) or an Otter Box.

All of our consumers have positive things to say about these mounts.

The company gives so much support. ||  || || [|Loc-Line iPad Mount]
 * [[image:90675b.jpg width="147" height="112"]]

Sold by Modular Hose || **What:** A moveable, 2-arm iPad Mount.
 * Who:** I've used this with my iPad and students who are pressing the screen easily move the mount out of position. It works much better if you are positioning an iPad for a child who is accessing the iPad wirelessly.
 * How:** The mount attaches to a wheelchair or table using the two spring clamps. I like using the 1" round tube clamp on a wheelchair for better support.

I think Loc-Line mounts work best for lighter objects such as a switch.

Additional ideas/comments from others: || I really like Loc-Line for mounting switches! It's not too strong for holding an iPad. || The iPad mounting system with spring clamps costs $88.40. the Round Tube Clamp costs $45.46. ||

Look [|HERE] for a good description. || This mounting system was recommended in conjuction with the iAdpater case for a student in an elementary setting who tends to THROW things. Although the easle on the back of the iAdapter case can position the device to address visual and motor needs, it wouldn't stay in place. With the SUCTION BASE we were able to easily connect the iPad securely. On the back of the case, we attached the Sensitrac receiver with the Velcro. The flip lock kept the device from sliding off.


 * NOTE:** The "Tall Arm" version of this mount is critical because of the size of the iPad and case.

Another post from Eric Sailers [|Lasered Pics Keyguards]. This company is very responsive to customer input, and was started by OTs. We really like working with them!

12/1/2011: Posted by Eric Sailers on the ASHA Special Interest Group DIV 12, AAC RE: Beyond Adaptive iPad Arm Kit I'd like to share a blog post that I wrote about the Beyond Adaptive iPad Arm Kit: @http://slpsharing.com/2011/12/01/beyondadaptive-ipad-arm-kit/. The kit provides a great iPad mounting solution for individuals with physical disabilities. Check it out!

RJCooper reviewed the OtterBox and suggests that you may prefer his solutions. **"I purchased and compared all the 'armored' cases I could find. The Incipio Destroyer was my winner. I adapt it so that it functions wonderfully as the ultimate iPad Carry Case, with shoulder strap, and Bumper Case"** Check out the photos and videos at his site: [|Rj's Ultimate iPad Case] He also sells a few different mounting solutions: [|Mounts for Tablet and iPad] and a cordless speaker option []
