For Pamela the computer has been great and getting her to do something on her
own, to make choices, and to listen to prompts or making something happen when
in silent mode. It's about the only time she is really engaged in something
that she can control. At this time it's only cause and effect games but
hopefully a stepping stone towards a computerized communication board down the
road.
Hope this is helpful.
