Thursday afternoon/evening we went to McKay books in Nashville. The purpose of the trip was to let Mark get a bunch of books at his reading level and books which he can relate to. And a few videos if they had them. Well when we got there I discovered that they had an IPOD that I could afford (with trade ins). So cheerfully I grabbed it expecting to install Mark's communication apps on it. The plan was for this to be Mark's easily portable communication device since the tablets are all somewhat large for this purpose. Then we got home and I discovered that the communication apps wouldn't work with this IPOD. Nuts! So we will go back this week and return it. And let Mark stock up some more. And I will be watching for an IPOD Touch on ebay. Wish us luck!
But even with the IPOD, Mark got a new movie and quite a few new books. He focused mainly on books that he has movies of. And spent yesterday, and today, flipping through the pages of those books while following the movies. It's been amazing, and amusing, to watch. Especially when he was watching Hunchback earlier. So when we go back I will definitely be looking at movie books for him.
And my find for him - a curriculum on Health and Safety that we can follow on the days when we can't work directly on the safety goals for him. In fact I'm off to work on reworking the lessons so that they are understandable by Mark.
Hope you all are having a good day!
