Adams communication

[Jim Smith]

60 Minutes did a segment last night on an app available on the iPad designed to make communication easier for autistic children, using an alphabet speller. My dad saw it and recommended it for Adam after seeing him spelling out words with his alphabet board. I'm up for pitching in to get him one. Anyone else have any thoughts on this? We can collect at next months hangar barbecue, maybe? -Jim

I saw the same program and had the same thoughts. They showed an autistic
child who could not speak going from an alphabet board to an I pad with an
application that took themes or words and converted them voice. If we
provide Adam with this plus a voice to text application like I have on my
smart phone Adam should have a whole new world of communications. The
autistic kids usually can hear but a lot of them can't talk. For these kids
the I pad was revolutionary. I think this would be a great asset for Adam.
Count me in for getting him an I pad and applications. Let's hear from Tony
since he was working on some other kind of computer system.
