Sorry It's Sideways......

But you get the picture.....

Carlie has been working on this communication device at her preschool for about 6 months or so, the teacher mentioned to me, back in Dec. that she hit it for the first time on her own. So with the help of Amberlee( her Respite provider) I was able to go and spend a day with her at school, while Amberlee was home, hiking with my other kiddos (other than Cyrene, I had her with me...) and see her do this with my own eyes. It was AMAZING... she not only hit it once, but EVERY SINGLE TIME!!!!!!!!! This is a HUGE break through, because it is the first REAL way we might be able to communicate with our sweet little angel.... this device is only the first step to more devices that can spell out word for word what she wants to say!!!!! We only pray, one day we will be able to hear her talk, but if it is through a device like these, we'll take it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! again sorry it's sideways, I turned my camera to get a better angle, forgetting that you can't do that while on video record...., but you still can see the excitement!!!!! listen for the words "more please"......
