iTunes and E-mail

Money to buy songs at the iTunes Store can be a great motivator for kids, and e-mail is a powerful force for communication for those who may have trouble with speech and language. Here's how to set up these services in a way that keeps your child safe and in control.
Set Up a Free iTunes Account Without Credit Card, Gift Card or Allowance
It's now possible to start an iTunes account with no money or information down. Follow this step-by-step to set it up.
Set Up an iTunes Account for Your Child With a Gift Card
iTunes gift certificates and allowances can be great rewards and motivators for kids with special needs. If you want to set up an account for your child but don't want to provide unlimited access to your credit card, you can use a gift card or certificate to get the account started. Here's how.
Set Up an iTunes Allowance for Your Child
An iTunes allowance lets you provide a monthly reward for your child, without worrying about where cash might be going. First, though, you'll need to set up an iTunes account using the allowance instead of a credit card for payment. Here's how.
