[tri-med] Communication Devices

Hi all. One of Akaiya's IEP goals this year is that she will be able to  
greet teachers and peers using a switch. They have been asking me if I know  of 
any other kids with T18 that use communication devices. I try explaining to  
them that all trisomy kids are different so it's really not easy to say "well  
johnny can do it, so akaiya should too." But, they seem to feel that now is the 
 
right time for Akaiya to start. The two questions they have are - Do any kids 
 use augmentative communication? and if so, what type of devices/switches are 
 they using?
