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. :(

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...
