Back to the Drawing Board

Easter is over, it's back to the real world.  Merv's appointment card has been on the fridge door for the last three months, until this morning.  It was all 'hands on deck' early this morning; dismantling the wheelchair, packing snacks, water bottles and finally we are on our way.  We head off to Mt Claremont and Merv completes his quarterly appointment with his specialist before seeing the speech pathologist.  Merv is learning to use the speech app, Proloqu2go.  Today he was given a stylus to act as his finger when tapping. It worked wondrously well. Last time he struggled with his finger tapping.  It was heartening to witness Merv not only enjoying the session but keen to participate and ask questions.  There will come a time when the iPad will be Merv's principle method of communication.
