he wants - she wants

She wants to buy an i-Pad, like, two months ago.



He wants to think things through.



She wants to download free educational Trevy friendly apps...two months ago already!



He wants to wait til' Christmas.



She wants to make the most of every single moment. We've got a right sided brain to re-wire after all!



He wants to make the most of every single moment and penny...and has heard prices will be much reduced right around Christmas.



She wants him to read this post...



And then she'll hear more about what he wants!

My friend bought an android tablet for $100. Looks the same as an iPad but a tiny bit smaller. Now if only proloque2go was for android and not iOS.

An iPad is probably in Bennett's future, but not today. Not so much because of the cost, but because I don't think he's ready yet. He still throws stuff and doesn't do some basic correlative things on toys yet, so I want to wait and see.

Of course, I could be 100% wrong, which also sucks that one can never KNOW what one's SN child will and will not show response to.

Ken-ly...I think you should just go ahead and get it now. There are some VERY basic aps that I've seen. Visit the babies with ipad blog! You'll be surprised. And it could be that he sits with you for five mins a day...and uses it.

And yes...it's yours truly doing the photo magic. With free online tools...and zilcho training I'll add. Not too shabby...least that's what Tobes and Bri are telling me!

You KNOW you should get it asap!!
(Jonathan - hope you're reading this! lol)
(you could always hardly spend anything on him at Christmas and he wouldn't mind)

So, what do you think of Proloquo2go? Looks pricey and would want personal recommendations before i bought it/persuaded husband.

I do know that H loves using the simple apps on my iPhone like animal sounds so it is probably very worth it, and with the bigger screen of an iPad.

Good luck, kt x

Jonathan has been spying on our iPad conversation...and says that Ken hit the nail on the head with...

"I don't think he's ready yet. He still throws stuff"

But I think I've successfully convinced him that we should invent an iPad cover with adjustable straps.

I don't see iPad prices coming down before xmas. We haven't used ours for Marissa, but the Brother acknowledges it and takes swipes at the screen with intent.

4 months old. There are waterproof cases, I'd look at one if I was you.

a different kind of muscle — guardianship process

  To all the parents who have walked through the guardianship process — my heart is with you. Our paperwork is prepped and ready to submit this week. He turns 18 on April 3rd. I've been thinking about this for a year now, but only just mustered the energy to move forward — the loom of his birthday my propellant. Overwhelm has paralyzing effect. I'm struggling to recall the last time I didn't feel overwhelmed. It struck me how all these years of walking through disability beside Trevor should have made me stronger and yet... I suppose it's a different kind of muscle being developed.

No, I don’t know him personally

  I’ve had several emails today asking if I know Mike W. of Marissa’s Bunny personally.    Trevy’s blog was linked on her site.  Although it’s not now.     I’ve posted here and there at his request.  Because…well…we’re a community.  Us IS families.  And Marissa is wicked cute.  Her daddy has a way with words.  Also who wouldn’t want the world to know about an iPad give-away?    But aside from that…I know about as much as you do.    We’ve never met in person.    Our only communication has been cyber.    I’m a ginormous sap and as such would love to believe that all is right.  That the sweet, beautiful families who were promised iPads will be getting them tonight.  Tomorrow at the latest.  That no one has been lied to.  That the personal thank you for your generosity email I sent him on behalf of other IS families I’ve grown to love and was thrilled to learn w...

the great answer hunt in the land of Infantile Spasms

If I've said it once... I've thought it a million times more. How it's like the more I research...and discover...about IS. The more blurry everything becomes. For every answer found. A dozen questions are unearthed. Remember our whole ARX saga ? Yeah...that threw me for a loop. So much so...that I never went on to post the end of the story. Thus far... See...the unbelievable in the world of genes happened. Because this is IS-ville after all. After Dr. Genes sampled Trevy's ARX gene on a whim...a whim which revealed an unkown (meaning the first time this specific change was found) mild mutation...she proceeded to send Toby's blood off to mad scientist central. With assurances that this was totally unnecessary . She was convinced that Trevor's ARX mutation was the underlying cause of his Infantile Spasms. And that Typical Toby...would prove to be just that. Typical...at least in all areas mutate-able. And yet...Toby's ARX blood sample revealed THE SAME MIL...
