I have been wondering how to help people understand Tessa better, and this could be a fun start...putting this card somewhere on her power chair. Such great information Kristina, thanks!!<br />WhitneyThe Bynumshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12163422546918563318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1562567569547870546.post-27813219796899758142011-10-20T05:12:58.572-04:002011-10-20T05:12:58.572-04:00Hi K, my super clever, non-verbal very severe son ...Hi K, my super clever, non-verbal very severe son (eg no reaching or switching without getting totally stuck) uses the two hand concept for communication really well by eye gaze. We've taken it a step further and keep it totally flexible for any two choice question. We ask a question and then wave one hand for one answer then the other hand for the other answer. He very clearly looks at the one for his answer. Sure a speech therapist will tell me that life can't be reduced to two options, but at least he's making choices, being involved and communicating. And when nothing else we've tried is working we love this. The kids at school have picked it up do quickly. At the park one day a girl was asking what activity he wanted to do and her mum asked me 'what's she doing?' she had no idea how clever or caring her daughter was and her daughter didn't think she was doing anything special! Keep up the great work - unlocking these kids is hard work but so worth it!ennydotshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16735619761389290870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1562567569547870546.post-13319457955268997222011-10-20T01:08:33.880-04:002011-10-20T01:08:33.880-04:00this seems like a good idea my name is AZ and...this seems like a good idea my name is AZ and i am a collage student with mild cp i hope u come to visit my blogAZ Chapmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07649451111980332722noreply@blogger.com
