That was a fantastic article about your little girl. I was wondering

weather you had looked into an augmentative speech device at all.

Our son, , also could not talk at all and this touch

screen " talker " works very well for him. The article mentions that

your daughter has not developed cognitively beyond a year old, if

that is correct, it might not work well for her but you might still

want to do a trial just in case. Thanks for sharing.

Wish you could be here in Appleton, WI. They now have a special needs music

class that runs about 7 weeks at a time. I haven't enrolled Leah yet. But

she loves to dance with us when music comes on. The reporter did a nice

article. And long too. Telling about the love of her sister was neat and

I like to hear that you don't let things interrupt Jade's day to day things.

There is also an organization here called Sib shops. It is for siblings

who have siblings with special needs. They focus on only the kids and they

have facilitators that help kids express their feelings when they have a

session that lets them talk about their siblings with special needs. Leah's

brothers adore her and sometimes forget she has special needs. They treat

her like an average child and have yelled at her when she gets in the way

of playing video games just like you would a little sister. Thanks for sharing

the article. I hope it opens up other peoples eyes. We, too are working

with Leah on an augmentive device to enable her to express her wishes. We

are using pictures right now. But Leah is very much aware of her surroundings

but can't tell us in words what she wants. Similiar situation.
