Hi Carol,

Give Trisha a great big hug from all of us. These are great scores.

This you need to frame as Trisha can do it!

So proud of her. : )

Hee hee, expressing her feelings signing " pig, " how funny. Made my

day.

On the wonderful teacher that has found Trisha's strength this one

needs to be cloned.

We frequently transfer PECS to sign with . I just need to make

sure to use the appropriate transfer procedures. When he gives the

picture, teach (prompt) then the sign. Once they are paired, then

can stop accepting the PECS card, and just get him to sign. I'll try

anything to keep the communication going and glad you did. Awesome!

Check out this site. Not to change her method because Trisha is

learning at her pace and communicating. It just looks interesting on

this Kaufman Apraxia Kit.

Hi Carol,

Thought I share one more site that I had on file.

http://commtechlab.msu.edu/sites/aslweb/browser.htm

If you download the program, you can see each sign

like a movie.

Check under B-for Bell, J-for Jingle, etc.

May we continue hearing that Trisha continues progressing with her

signing. Sign language can be used as a tool or bridge to verbal

communication. Fingers crossed. : )

Thanks for sharing about Trisha. Its always a joy to hear about your

kids on their progress or how much has been accomplished towards the

path of learning.
