'YES' & 'NO' card

Though we managed to has a device that able allow Danielle to communicate with us. That device will still require time and practise for Danielle to learn to how to use it. We manage to engage a special education teacher whom familiar with assistive technology to come to our place to teach Danielle.
Twice a week she will comeby our place to have a 45 min session with Danielle. Scheduling  the right timing  to start off the lesson sound has a bit of difficulty. Danielle might be sleeping as she tend to wake up early and later goes back to sleep.

Trying out the YES & NO card, below is what we should ask her;
Watching which show- Danielle, do you want to watch bunnytown show? Yes or No ?
#You want to watch Bunnytown ? (nods head, point at YES )
#No- you want to choose again? (shakes head, point to NO)

Sound easy, but to the person speak out the question require patience and alertness to look out for her eye contact.

We excited with this progress for Danielle.

Danielle - How's things going on...

How has Danielle's been doing? Is she well ? Guess this have been some thought for some of Danielle's blog follower. I apologies for not updating in the blog. It been quite a busy season for us as a family since the beginning of this year. Danielle do has her own facebook - https://www.facebook.com/danielle.seah.3  account  which we update more often than in her blog. FB is more easier to upload post than posting at the BlogSpot. Do check out her Facebook if there not much update in the blog.
