A few weeks ago, I wrote about a new AAC app, Speak for Yourself, which is the subject of a lawsuit by the Prentke Romich Company. Well, the developers were kind enough to let me see and evaluate the app with Schuyler. I'll be writing something this week on that very subject. Cool, a teaser…

I've been following your blog since Schuyler was a little girl. About a year before your book deal came around. Anyways, being a Texas resident and growing up in a public school, I wanted to mention a program I had in middle school called:
PAL-PEER ASSISTANCE AND LEADERSHIP®
Club Description: PAL-Peer Assistance and Leadership® is an award winning, non-profit program providing effective training in "resiliency" strategies. The PAL® peer helping program combats problems such as violence in schools, drug abuse, teen pregnancy, gang participation and school dropouts by providing a critical line of defense both at school and in the home through building peer helping programs all over Texas.
I had one in middle school when things were "rough" but it provided me with a friend for the year, and someone to talk to and do interesting things with. We shared a lot of stories and it was encouraging to me.
Maybe they have such a program at Schuyler's school?
