If you could put yourself in his shoes, what would you tell me, his mom? I'm scared and confused and nervous for my son. What advice do you have for parents who are in this spot?

Can you explain what obstacles you encounter with AAC tech when you experience unexpected conflicts? For example, does AAC use make it especially difficult to spontaneously communicate in a situation you did not anticipate and in which any person would be flustered? Can AAC tech improve to help you with that, or is it more of an issue of confidence/being caught off guard?<br /><br />Second question! What do you think about the VocalID project, where researchers are using voice donors to try to make a more realistic and personalized voice for AAC users?BigRedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09759749577650048187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22878815.post-13950288757316766912015-07-03T10:00:59.628-05:002015-07-03T10:00:59.628-05:00Schuyler, what about soon being an adult excites y...Schuyler, what about soon being an adult excites you the most?

What are some things that teachers have done that have helped you to have good experiences in the classroom? What can teachers do to make sure you are feeling challenged but not overwhelmed? And (if you can answer this without calling out any specific teachers) what are some things that teachers did that you didn't like, or that you found unhelpful? <br /><br />Thanks for being willing to discuss your experiences--I've been learning from you and your dad since I was in graduate school, and next year will be my 7th year of teaching. I'm definitely a better teacher because of the experiences you and your dad have shared.Mrs. Silversteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15081113623522933830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22878815.post-61959104891872368912015-06-15T13:36:12.002-05:002015-06-15T13:36:12.002-05:00Schuyler, If you could spend a day doing anything,...Schuyler, If you could spend a day doing anything, anywhere, what would it be?

I know there were (and still are) many contentious discussions about assistive communication applications and various proprietary systems; what were the biggest factors in your decisions? What are your favourite games? Do you (like I do) take a ton of pictures or just a few? Do you store your music on the iPad or stream radio?<br />What are your preferred cases and covers for the iPad mini? (Look, I know it sounds frivolous, but for a device which is used all the time, it's important. And I'm curious. For example, my father refuses to use a case on his iPhone, but drops it all the time, then he's upset that it's damaged. I put a case on mine and have excellent resale value as a result.) <br />In a different vein, how are all the animals?Meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14325005380700159153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22878815.post-17260498533318680062015-06-09T18:34:11.372-05:002015-06-09T18:34:11.372-05:00I would like to know what Schulyer plans after HS....I would like to know what Schulyer plans after HS.
