It's been a while and Jackson's been busy

Jackson finally got his Dynavox Mighty Mo communication device last week. We have been doing some experimenting with it trying to figure out the best way to set it up for him. The problem is that with his huge motor issues, he can only use 1 or 2 buttons directly with his hand. The device also has scanning so he can access it with a switch, but it can take a long time to get to the button you want to select with this method, and Jackson does not have the patience for it. I don't blame him, I wouldn't have much patience for that either. But we are working on it.

Also, Jackson started back to school this week. He has a new classroom, new teacher, and all new therapists, so it's a lot of new stuff to get used to. He seems to be enjoying it though.
