Really? I've never heard of a child move that fast. Wow!!<BR/><BR/>I never got to respond to your email to me about him usually requesting food with his AAC. But, yes, that is very common. I have one student that mostly uses his device for asking for computer. The trick is to get the child to use it for more than just high interest items. But it sounds like Micah is doing that now!<BR/><BR/>And make sure YOU are using the device too! All the time. More than him. Talk about what you are doing and thinking and saying and ask questions with the device. You are teaching him a new language. He needs to hear and see YOU use the language too for him to really learn it!CChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01537821831479150677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7494202605629550918.post-58437138408545496642008-11-08T23:26:00.000-05:002008-11-08T23:26:00.000-05:00I'm so glad that things are finally moving forward...I'm so glad that things are finally moving forward for you after being strangled by red tape for so long.

We originally looked at a DynaVox but we found the company's customer service to be lacking.
