Our I touch Experience
I just wanted to share an update on our student who now is trying and LOVING the itouch to communicate with peers, teachers and family. He is a happy, smiling guy who now can communicate what he is wanting to say in a lot less time. He takes this tool home (which is cool) and his mom asks him to say something that he has wanted to say for a long time.. SHe gives him some prompts like: I am sure you have wanted to say, "mom you are having a bad hair day" or "Mom, you aren't going out like that".... Well she turns around as she hears the I touch beginning to speak the sentence he wanted to say to his mom. "MOM I love you" is what he says. His mom told me she looked up and there he was a GRIN from ear to ear.. Well there is a heart warming, tear jerking incredible memory for all involved in the I touch being used as a communicative device for this 17 year old teenager.

Paula what do you think of the iTouch as a writing machine for other reluctant writers with fine motor issues etc..... but... VERY good thumb typers:)? Could be an amazing motivator. We should try it out with a few students and see what they can produce.
I LOVE this story. Keep them coming.:)
