So in May, a few days prior to Nathan's surgery, we had a very long awaited and exciting appointment. Nathan has been working with his Pod (communication book) for awhile now. He is finally learning to to navigate through it a little better but it's still very hard for him (and for us) ...
Nathan's Pod (communication book)
We've had our hearts set on an iPad and ProLoQuo2Go Software....... (you can read more about at iPAD & AUTISM) It was the first software that I became aware of .... so of course, I thought it MUST be the best.
It's not.
Nathan's appintment started out simple enough - working with the Pod book just to get a feel on if he could identify photos and use them for his needs - which he did very well using both balloons and bubbles....
Then she switched to using different electronic devices to see which one (with program) he worked well with best ...... (there was a lot of bubbles going on!)
He is getting a Nova Chat 7 System ... it is lightweight, has a built in handle and stand, amazing program that will actually predict what you might want to say next and put those options up for you .... you can put together sentences .... and the program with GROW WITH HIM ....
Nathan was very proud of his "Taxi" Ride of the day ....
We are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO very Very VERY EXCITED!!!!
