I worked with patients at Bloorview Children's Hospital for years and became familiar with many technological devices and aids to help us talk to one another. Some of the most intelligent and memorable conversations resulted. It made me furious that so many presumed that not being able to speak in the same way I do meant that my kids had nothing to say and no thoughts to express. Several were brilliant; all of them were interesting and my own life was made richer by having talked with them. I'm even more excited that 30 years later there are even more options for communicating! I'm always interested in hearing what you have to say Glenda so keep on blogging and twittering and hopefully we'll meet in person one day! Linda M. Lopeke The SMARTSTART Coach Hi Glenda,
