Go Talk

Last week at school when Ruby had the audiologist visit her class, she didn't like it.  How do I know she didn't like it?  Because she told her teachers.

When they put the headphones on her, she used the "Go Talk" device - and pushed the button to say, "I do not like this."  She cooperated - but she wanted to let them know, she was not a fan of wearing the headphones.

I think it's similar to this Go Talk device, but I haven't actually seen it yet.

Today, Ruby used the Go Talk to tell her teacher's she had to go potty!  So, they took her potty, and she went! How cool is that?  She does have the ability to sign "potty" as well ... but it's just  nice to see her using a variety of communication.

I love it! Our SLP is using a variety of tools and devices with Alina, to see which she prefers. It has been so interesting...and helpful! Kids with speech delays are processing so much, but need help getting their thoughts and ideas out. I'm glad help is out there!!

Way to go Ruby!!! :) I think we are going to need one of these devices for Kellsey! The girl needs to communicate... although I'm a little scared about what she might say. I just KNOW she has an attitude in there! hahahaha
