Although this might not exactly be your area of expertise, creating a simple board with yes/no, help, bathroom, therapy choices or other symbols (depending the available symbols) might be of help to you on your iPad. Most students with communication needs may have a dedicated device, but availability of basic communication symbols might just come in handy from time to time.
