iPad (free) app of the day

The hubs and I spent the weekend surfing the web in the hopes of hunting down (free-ish) Trevy friendly apps. Some luck was found. But mostly not really. We've downloaded and deleted a dozen or so already.


So in an endeavor to add our voice to the noise...


I will be randomly sharing our...


iPad app of the day


I informed Jonathan of my idea to generously help other new iPad owners with youngsters in need of education saturation. His response - clearly the iPad purchase was really just to beef up my blog posts.


::smile::



********************



Sound Touch Lite (grab yours here)


Cost

FREE!


**I've discovered "lite" means a less exhaustive and therefore free version**

Description

144 sounds & images of: animals, birds, vehicles, musical instruments and household objects




Love Love Love this app!


The screen is easy to understand and use. Simply tap a picture to hear the sounds and see another picture of the same subject. I especially like that the first pictures are cartoon-ish while the pop up picture is real. I'm all about concepts for the Trevster! You can toggle between the different categories by tapping the pictures on the navy bar located at the bottom of the screen. The sounds are very realistic as well.


This is one app that we may just have to purchase the non-lite version of!


Trevy Friendly Rating

2 thumbs up & 5 stars

Yeah!

We don't have an iPad...yet. I'd love to have one for Emma, but I don't think she's anywhere near being able to utilize it, in any way. But....Jon & I do have the new iPhones. And I'm always looking for free apps. Thanks!!!

During Autism awareness month (yes they get a whole month while IS gets a corner of a room and an Ad for ACTH) I downloaded free ABA cards from Kindergarten.com Keep an eye out for autism freebies. They come up all the time.

I'd get one, but if Bennett even gave it a glance he'd first try to spin it and then throw it after it failed to spin.

I'll stick to the cheaper option of coffee can lids for now. :(

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...

I was talking about you today

That's right. You. Sitting there glued. To the computer screen. Getting your Trevy fix. You who hasn't been able to tear your eyes away. The one who checks back here gobs of times a day. Hanging on every post. Especially the dripping with drama or funny posts. Because you need to either laugh or cry alternately. Just like me. And somewhere...sometime...somehow...over the course of these past couple years... ...you found yourself here. Reading about me. About my family. About my Trevy. And slowly you were drawn in. Until you couldn't help yourself. You were head over heels. Unashamedly addicted. Maybe we connected in a support forum. Perhaps we're old college friends. I know we have family following. Hi guys! Some teachers and therapists. Maybe even a medical professional or two. Perhaps our kids play ball together. We might be FaceBook friends. Or you could be a friend of a friend. Even a complete stranger. But to us... you each have a very special pla...

runaway

I tend to be a live out loud kinda girl. But sometimes... well...sometimes life is just so heavy. So intense. So overwhemling. That it brings out the recluse in me. Like lately. The thing is...I know it'll pass. It always does. And I'll learn something. Grow. Hopefully. Survive. Certainly. Because I have to. It's just right now. In this particular heavy moment. I would much rather run away to some tropical paradise and sip martinis until Jonathan calls to tell me Trevy's back at home. Happy. And seizure free. With a new head of curls covering the scar and bouncing around the house. I am a coward after all. I've never denied that. And I really don't want to live through this next month. Which is probably why my posts will be random. At best.
