Sunday Lesson...God's temple/church

Not sure what happened but I could not get Mark's typing to come to my email today so I don't have it...

Mark had a lot of energy this morning but we got through the Sunday Lesson...

Talking to Boy Scouts tonight!

i walk to school each day. a teacher uses books. mom drives the van. Mom buys the groceries.

So excited that I have been asked to speak with a local Boy Scout Troop about communication.  Specifically, using typing for communication.  (Okay...I am not sure what I did but my typing just got small...)

Anyway, I had put together a powerpoint presentation about the information I learned while at the conference in Syracuse last summer.  I am also going to be presenting this on December 1st for the community at the local hospital conference room.  

I went through my powerpoint presentation last night and added some small clips of me working with Mark.  I had so much fun looking back through our old videos and seeing the progress we have made in just 3 months!  I picked some great clips to share and I am looking forward to discussing alternative and augmentative methods of communication with the Scouts.

Trying out more Camp Discovery

I know I have not written much the past couple of days.  Things have been moving along...slowly but surely.  Today, we did not get much typing done this morning because I was trying to get Mark to do a new program in the Camp Discovery app.  I clicked on the one that said "Community Helpers."  I thought this would be good because we are doing "who" questions this week.

I can tell we have a lot of work to do in this area...I am going to have to help him a little more.

He was stimming a lot on his hand and it would make him miss the questions because it goes so fast...I could have easily worked longer with Mark this morning but I had to get him to school....

Religion lesson

Mark answered many questions today!

Mark and I went to the Self Advocate Leadership Network Halloween party last night.  

I asked Mark who his friend was and he said, "Nemo"

Today, Mark did a great job answering my questions...we have come a long way from when we started and he did not even understand that I was asking a question and wanted a response/answer from him.  I think he gave appropriate answers for 4 of the 5 questions I asked!  I am also realizing how important it is to say what you mean and mean what you say...
