I really need to flag up this week’s episode of Click. Towards the end, there is quite a cool segment about alternative and augmentative communication, and how technology like the ipad is being used to enable young children with learning difficulties to communicate. It is not too far from what Lyn and I use our ipads for, although the emphasis in the article is more on learning difficulties. It points out, for example, how tablet computers can now be used to supplement picture exchange systems. Great stuff well worth checking out if you’re interested, although I still think Lyn should be credited as one of the pioneers of the Ipad as a primary communication aid.
