Weird. I posted a comment this morning, but it's not here. Of course, it WAS BC (Before Coffee) so who knows if I actually hit "submit." ANYWAY, I did my Master's research on Autism and there was a girl in my lab who was doing her research on using technology like this in the way you describe. I think it's so great that there are people thinking of ways to implement the fantastic tech stuff out there now to help those with disabilities. A terrific side benefit is that the kids look "cool" when they're using something techie. Can't beat that! Hmmm. Weird. I posted a comment this morning, but it's not here.

I have been walking around the house now paying attention to all the technology we use to see what other uses I could find for it! Glad you liked it.

This is sure to boost cofidence and improve the "inclusion" experience for many kids. I know a few parents I'm going to pass this idea on to. Thanks Trish! What an great idea.

I certainly would not have thought of this on my on, and it would be a wonderful method to use with all three of my younger sons. P.S. I might not make a TTT tip post today, but this is in line for sharing and linking this post on my blog. I think this is a great idea. Trish, thank you for this tip.

He uses some sort of device to communicate with. I haven't seen it yet but sounds like it sure has changed their life. She told me he comes home from school and actually tells her how his day was for the first time ever. He is 18 years old. Incredible! 18 years of taking other peoples word and finally he can tell her himself. I have a friend whose child has Down Syndrome and Autism. He uses some sort of device to communicate with.
