[tri-med] Computers, Trisomy and Disability in general

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.
