When my daughter was first in our "re-hab" at home, we bought her a phone from Target. It was called firefly and was designed for kids. We programed the numbers who she could call and who could call her. The phone had no numerals on it. Only the symbol of a man (dad) and woman (mom).Those were our phone numbers. Then we added her sisters' number and 911. This allowed her to have her phone (it was this way, or no way). She joked with us about her "toy" phone; but it was better than nothing. We later added her sponsors' number. Just my experience. Good luck. HUGS!
