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.
