I want to use my desktop as a monitor for my iPad

My Mom has pretty bad vision. She isn't able to use her iPad for much as the screen is too small. Is there a way to hook up the iPad to her desktop (Mac) which has a large screen so that she can use apps that way? And using the mouse to navigate? There are some apps she'd love to use but currently cannot. Google search mostly brings up articles on how to hook up your iPad for syncing, which I know how to do and is not the same thing.


Thank you for any help!

Have you checked to see if similar applications are available for her Mac? iPad apps can't be used with a mouse (except for some Remote Desktop apps).
