MIA

Things have been just a bit crazy around here so blogging hasn't been happening. Junior is having some health issues which we are trying to work out so it may be little while before I am back to blogging regularly.
We would appreciate your prayers and feel free to check Junior's personal blog which I will try to update today(I am even several days behind with that one). Hope everyone is having a wonderful summer.

IPad For Communication

Sorry to be missing in action on this blog for awhile. Summer time has been very busy and we are trying to get outdoors as much as we can. I was planning to do a few posts today but instead woke up to a boy who has pink eye and is miserable.
So the other posts will have to wait and I will share Junior's new blog where you can follow along on his journey using the ipad as a communication device. Click here Junior's Voice to visit the very first post on the blog. There are several posts now up but that first one shares our starting point(it goes into how we are using the program for a child using eye gaze and not his hands)
We are truly blessed to have been able to get an IPAD for Junior and I am so excited to see him communicating with it.
Anyone who thinks this device is just the next big electronic "toy" has never used one. Junior is not only using it to make choices and tell me his needs but was able to talk on the phone to my mom and tell her "I love you grandma" amazing.

Here he is making a choice on his IPAD(using the proloquo2go app)
A little IPAD fun time, watching his show
