Ariel is on to 6th grade!

Ariel had a great year this year. She is finally learning how to use her augmentative communication device (talk box for short). On a resent field trip she used her switch all by herself to answer a question of how many pets she had. I actually started crying. To finally see her do it on her own with out any one helping was overwhelming. My greatest wish for her is that she can learn to communicate with everyone NOT just her family. She is so bright, funny, stubborn and adorable it is hard not to let her get away with things just because she is "handicapped". Well on to the 6th grade more great things to come for sure.
