A Touching Gift

Today we met the latest members of Chloe's Fan Club. These four people are part of the county's agumentative team. They provide services for children in the school district to learn to use communication devices. They do this on a volunteer basis. Amazing....

They brought Chloe a computer, a touch screen, and over 100 interactive programs for preschool age learning. Chloe has used a touch screen once before, and she did so well that I have been trying to get one ever since. Today all my efforts finally paid off! It's all about knowing the right people who know the right people. Chloe's OT Sarah has worked with this team a lot in the past, was able to put in a good word for Chloe, and voila!.....


Check her out, using her right hand to pop bubble wrap on the screen!.....


This is another one of those times when "Thank you," just doesn't seem like enough, but it's all I can give. I can only imagine how much this will help Chloe with her fine motor skills, decision-making skills, and many other things. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!
