Re: OT Teaching KiKI to read or sign 2?

Sandy, I went to www.do2learn.com and it was funny. I went to the

foods...and laughed. I thought that they would be most appropriate

to start with. Since this is where we have most of our

communication breaks downs. I got to see pictures of bread, cake

cookies and pizza. Plus of course SCd safe foods mixed in. It just

was a wake up call....since we have gone on restricted diets for 1.5

years and now SCD, I forgot that the " real " world existed.

When I have time I will make some SCD " legal " cards for her. LOL!

LOL..yeah the foods in any pecs is a bit funny..but it's the symbol you can

teach even though it's isn't really like the food..it's an association to that

particular picture.........Or for the foods..You can make you own with a digital

camera and shrink down to around 20% and laminate.. another option for little

ones...the site can serve as a guide as well..
