It was very moving. I bought my first Apple device (an iPod touch) specifically for the Proloquo2go program they featured. For msk there was no communication breakthrough - he basically used it to be echolalic through a device instead of his mouth. On the other hand, he was instantly fluent on it and loved all the apps and the interface. He's always been a computer wizard, but the portability and touch interface made this a perfect calming and take everywhere tool. We've also purchased an iPad - it's used by everyone in the house (see my 10/28 post picture). The best thing about msk and these devices is that they prove how smart he is to everyone. I'll always be grateful to Steve Jobs for that.A BCPSS Parenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06457102026135990514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1346348567155318699.post-23479549347715187902011-10-28T20:50:28.098-04:002011-10-28T20:50:28.098-04:00IPads?IPads?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1346348567155318699.post-70876348077891756082011-10-23T21:59:01.374-04:002011-10-23T21:59:01.374-04:00First, this piece was both beautiful and heartbrea...First, this piece was both beautiful and heartbreaking. The little but huge things. <br /><br />Secondly, did you see 60 Minutes tonight and the use of IPads with children with autism. Very interesting. Wondered what you think. <br /><br />Thanks for blogging.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
