[tri-med] Re: Communication Devices

That's the same one they are letting her try at school, but hers is red. They 
have recorded her favorite aide singing and she seems to like it. She still 
requires hand over hand to activate it most of the time though. I'll have to 
get her one for home and practice some more I think. What type of stuff does 
Kam do on the computer?
