Guest guest Posted December 14, 2004 Report Share Posted December 14, 2004 When you talk about adding several programs to your 3G (P5, P6, P7), what do you mean by this? I thought the 3G was only capable of holding two speech programs at a time. Surgery date: 12/22/04 (8 days and counting!)

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2004 Report Share Posted December 14, 2004 Jackie, Very good question. Come to the head of the class. Well, for starters, I got the BWP. The BWP can only hold 4 programs. You have to play around with the 4 programs first, before you can pick two favorite programs and then you get to put them on your 3G. That is not going to happen until the fourth MAPping, scheduled for January, since I'm prelingually, profoundly deaf. Other people who used to be hearing before, have spectacular results that they dispose with the BWP and put the 3G into use right away... My 3G is at home, waiting. Does this help answer your q? Good luck with everything. activated 12/8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 Hi Chris. I too have questions. Lou Brown taught us that pre means never, so you may want to rethink your language. Also, most people I know with IDD do not do well in a setting that is not the real job. I know lots of people are excited about Walgreen's but my daughter worked at the Walgreens' factory in the western suburbs for 5 months as part of her transition plan in high school. She loved the job, the employees liked her, she got excellent reviews, but when it came time to switch from the $2 an hour STEP program pay to a real job, even though there was an opening, Walgreens' would not hire her. They said there were insurance issues. Even though she learned how to do the " PIC " line at the typical speed, which I understand is a big entry requirement for Walgreens, they would not hire her. I am interested in Beth working for Walgreen's. Beth is interested in working at Walgreen's warehouse. How will your program open the door to a real job with real pay? From: IPADDUnite [mailto:IPADDUnite ] On Behalf Of ELLEN BRONFELD Sent: Monday, November 14, 2011 4:06 PM IPADDUnite Subject: Question for Chris Hi Chris: I was wondering about what the ultimate goal of the program is? Getting job skills is great but is there a guarantee of employment? For that kind of money, do you help with job placement? Who helps with generalization of skills to the real work setting? It is my experience, at least with my son who has autism, that he learns best in the setting in which he will be working. He gets bored in " manufactured " environments and in fact, the skills don't transfer very well... I appreciate that these companies are helping in some way, but wouldn't it be more practical for these companies to provide employment opportunities in their businesses, with the support that is needed to make each individual successful? I feel as though we are going backwards in terms of segregated learning environments...at the end of the day...where is this going? Please don't interpret this as hostile...I am just very concerned about how we include and integrate individuals into the mainstream of society and build acceptance from the outside...I am not understanding how this happens at Turning Pointe in the segregated classroom, or in this new endeavor...help me understand it. Thanks. Ellen Ellen Garber Bronfeld egskb@... <mailto:egskb%40sbcglobal.net> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
