There has been limited research on why seniors are not using the iPad. This study seeks to gain knowledge for speech-language pathologists on how the iPad may improve communication in seniors, reduce anxiety related to the iPad, thus, increase quality of life in recreational, social, educational, and health purposes in seniors, and determine whether the use of the iPad increases communication between family and friends. Classes were presented in four one-hour training sessions each covering a different topic once a week over one month duration. Results showed significant improvement by all participants in the areas of: confidence in relation to technology, increased efficiency, access to information, personal correspondence, communication with others, helped pursue hobbies or interests, opened or expanded friendships, and increased sense of well-being. In conclusion, this study shows the need for mobile technology classes provided by colleges and universities that bring the service to seniors in a natural environment. Social media training on iPads should not be excluded from seniors to whom social activities have been proven to increase quality of life. Knowing how the iPad can assist seniors requires an understanding of the individual needs of this population. In order to do this, more evidence based research needs to address the communication needs and interests of seniors.
