Ashley's making great progress across the board in communication she is reaching for her picture cards rather then using eye gaze, she making lines on the page now and holding a pencil better compared to just dabbing with the marker last year, she is doing some feeding with a spoon and fork at times, and slowly and steadily progressing with her motor skills. I prepared this video to show her team how much work she is doing outside of school in therapy have a look. I'm so proud of her.

Ashley's fabulous Team!
Yesterday Ashley also received her PODD!
Ashley also was given this new voice a communication book... pretty impressive and it has to travel with her at all times. A lot of thought was put into this and we are going to do out best to help her learn to communicate with it. It has many sections to give her lots of reason to talk to us.
fyi PODD is a Pragmatic Organisation Dynamic Display
This book isn't exactly Dynamic like the Dynavox or iPad but hopefully if she learns this system well an iPad will be in her future. Someday she will be giving speeches just like Stephen Hawkings! Wish me luck this task is just a bit overwhelming to say the least but I can't let her down and her voice is so valuable.
