I decided to post a comment under the article to find out what areas (biologically) would the child suffer in with continued use of an I-pad in kindergartens.

Hi there,
I'm a second year occupational therapy student studying in New Zealand and am just exploring a few occupational therapy based blogs. I find the above article on I-pads interesting and yet very disturbing at the same time. While I understand I-pads can be really useful for those that have certain impairments and are living with a disability...but using them in kindergartens for young, healthy children?---> I have never heard of such a thing and think its totally outrageous!!
I wanted to ask you what other areas (other than fine motor skills) would the child suffer in with continued use of an I-pad in kindergartens?
I'm sure this would have huge effects on all areas of the child's development, especially cognitively which could lead to great problems in the future!
