therasuit therapy

2009-11-05T20:30:11Z

Hi,
I´m sorry to ask you about this as it is not related to CAA but I know you
moms will probably be able to help.
The thing is our physiotherapist is willing to do some training on therasuit
therapy and she´d have to go to USA as it is the only place where they offer
that.
Do you by any chance know about this therapy or any contact that could help?

For anyone interested not on the giveaway of the day mailing list,

around and run on a USB thumb drive. Not sure if it is Windows 7

WISHES IN THE DARK
Sometimes when she's sleeping
I can see in my mind's eye
the little girl I thought I had,
the one who said good-bye.
Sometimes when she's sleeping
hands folded by her cheek
I close my eyes and see before me
a child who can speak.

Robin,

I understand this, but how can I word it so the school understands
this? It is back to getting Ds and Fs on spelling tests again. When
they gave her the EXACT sentences that would be at the end of the
spelling tests, we practiced spelling all words in them correctly .
When you just give them words in the sentence, using words from a list

Hi,

The 24 Hour AAC Read-a-Thon was great fun and lasted more than 24

Feel free to write back and ask questions about the part that was over your head. It's tough to get a comfort level with IEPs. It sure took me a long time :)

THANKS! I wanted to write you back, but just couldn't force myself. I'm going to print this out and take it to the SLP. We actually had her meeting yesterday, but I can change/add/take away if needed. This is really very helpful, even though some of it may be over my head. :/ Thanks again!

Denise and others who are looking for IEP goal ideas,

Denise, you have a 1st grader who just got a vantage. Two things are very important in first grade: beginning to work on reading and writing, and using her device to communicate with others.

The really great thing is that the high frequency words, or sight words, that first graders generally work on are already on the vantage. And these are the words that she'll need to know, in order to put words together and communicate with others.

Robin, please suggest away for Kendra also. You seem to be the expert
at getting the devices used in the school. Some of us have no clue
what we are doing, what to ask for, or where to go.

I have come up with a new proposal for them, see if they follow
through with it. They don't want to do anything off of the Eco, like
