Hi there budlosaltos,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. It sounds like your iPad is intermittently not responding to touch. Does this happen when using a specific app or feature on the iPad? If it doesn’t happen with specific apps, this article should help: If the screen isn’t working on your iPhone or iPad.
If the issue is isolated to a specific app, this article might help: If an app unexpectedly quits, stops responding, or won’t open.
If the issue continues, reach out to Apple directly here: Get Support.
Have a great day!
