We don't have the proloquo stuff. Mikey loved it and it was amazing seeing him use his fingers so well. He thought it was hilarious using the stamps - especially the poo with the noise!<br /><br />He hates doing mark making in other forms but this got him drawing and enjoying it!<br /><br />I'm interested to see what other cheap or free apps are helpful for our kids - have you got any recommendations?

I love these videos for two reasons--ONE, look how smart he is! and TWO, because Charlie is making those sounds too and I knew they were talking and here I hear Max making them too--hooray! My boy is talking--now if I only knew what he was saying. <br /><br />And we have similar issues with the iPad being a toy and not a tool.

And that's only because I blocked YouTube, where you can watch countless videos of Nintendo screen as people play their games.<br /><br />On the bright side, this is actually progress. He can find what he wants on a COMPUTER, WHICH IS AN ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY SKILL IN TODAY'S WORLD AND CAN OFTEN COMPENSATE FOR OTHER MISSING SKILLS.Staying Afloathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06228636990839399469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401303964563152307.post-64776684508336359032010-10-28T18:45:32.811-04:002010-10-28T18:45:32.811-04:00Thanks for the enthusiasm, everyone!

He's doing so well with the iPad too!!<br /><br />Is there anyway you could disable the wireless from the iPad (and have it still work solely for Proloquo2Go purposes)? Then you could make Max and Sabrina use a desktop computer for Youtube, etc. That would eliminate the competiton for the iPad for other purposes. The only other option is to buy Sabrina an iPad of her own!<br /><br />He's really got the hang of that thing--how wonderful! He can't help but learn to read just using it--I'll bet he recognizes FIRE TRUCK without the pictures, and a lot of other words as well. What a marvellous device!
