I am looking at small devices that are able to record snippets of information such as name, address, phone and contact, and also have a USB link for uploading/downloading medical information. Kristina,
Did Charlie’s teachers ever talk about using some version of a voice recorder as an option to help deliver personal information when words fail, in addition to such as cards?

Nik's communication is a big thing for us, as you know; I so appreciate the links to the back-posts on your old site. They teach me and touch me emotional spots I forget are there (or would like to froget?). And the trajectory of Charlie's learning fascinates me. I appreciate that you always emphasize the hard work and time it takes to achieve that success. This post really "spoke" to me today. (Sorry, I couldn't resist the bad pun!)

She talked about using it but no one could figure out how to show or teach him to---he did not yet know how to imitate, not even simple actions, let alone sounds. And teaching him to use the binder with the cards has been a long teaching effort. We'll see how he does with it this afternoon after school.
