augcomm device (7 Level Communication Builder) with 3 tactile objects on a grid of 8.

This is Seaners' Box of Words. Right now it has three squares programmed into it: "drink" (little purple cap that looks like a cup), "eat" (toddler fork cut down) and "stim toy" (Chewy Tube cut to fit. (The stuff around the edges is putty to keep the grid on.)

All the kids in his class (a split class with kids from K-5 - there are about eight kids, I think, and four staff members plus therapists coming in and out - he has speech and OT and vision/mobility, some kids would have PT as well.) have devices that are somewhat like this. Most of them have picture panels instead of objects though for obvious reasons.

I can hardly wait. YAY KINDERGARTEN! Seaners got off to a good start today at the IEP meeting by sucking up to EVERYONE and giving them hugs and kisses - including the SPED principal who sat in the meeting with us. I was totally amused. :-)

Chris: We should record the panels saying "SEAN EAT NOW."
Me: We do not need to give our child Incredible Hulk voice.
Chris: Why not?

My Neko, he is VAST now. It's hard to believe he was once so very wee, as shown below:

Same cat. :-) I think those pictures were about a year apart.
