Fall is getting colder and Christmas is coming up and along with it plans for presents and pictures and sending out cards. Hopefully I send them out this time. Hasnt worked so far but I have good intentions. :P Anyway along with these expenses comes gloves hats and boots for the winter (thank God their coats still fit!) So I realize saving money for an IPAD and the Proloquo2go app is a bit out their but Im hoping to put a little bit away every month starting in January and hopefully by December of next year we can get the IPAD which is a start. Im hoping to access some funds through the kids' many workers to help finance the program but Im getting really excited about what it will unlock with my children! They are using an IPAD in speech therapy and Im amazed at how much they can express with it! Im working on getting a kinda electronic touch communication device for Angel to use in school to maybe help with the echolalia. Isaiah can communicate a bit better than her even though he has trouble forming the words. I can only do one at a time. He is next. Currently Im using sign language songs modeling what they should say and repetition and phone calls to daddy and gramma and auntie becky which all helps along with the picture schedule and I will continue these things but just add the ipad into the therapy program. Im excited to see what it helps them unlock!
