Hello
I have seen a couple of posts about AAC devices and wondered if there would be enough of us (or jut me rambling on my own!) to have a sporadic chat about why works, what doesn't, finding and sharing resources, how to kick school up the arse etc.
Ds is nearly 7, he has a severe expressive language delay and uses a 10 inch Grid Pad Go from Smartbox with the Grid 3 . We are struggling with it at the moment as he doesn't like carrying it around (it is big and heavy), and school have been crap about it being out all the time and tend to denigrate it over trying to use his voice (which he tries to do, but then no one understands him, so then he doesn't speak). We are just about to have a big review, see an AAC specialist and I need to knuckle down and see what other things are out there.
Hopefully someone might join me, and I won't be all alone here!!
