[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 89028, member: 1991"] I'm glad to hear from you, I've been worried about you, wondering how you were getting on. I'm so glad she is happy about this move, too. And to be able to keep using the Alphasmart - how is that going? Is she finding it easy to use, or does she still need to practice her typing? Although difficult child 3 was already not bad on a keyboard (just him) having to use it constantly has really pushed his keyboard skills up. Downloading from the Alphasmart is also really easy, she will get the hang of it quickly if she is shown how. And once she has the confidence to be able to do it for her teachers that should also help her. it also gets away from the visual distraction of images which can be a problem using a easy child. Where does she go from here, with regard to later schooling? I only ask because we had to begin making plans several years in advance for difficult child 3. I did feel it gave me some peace of mind to have advance understanding of our options. We now have an election looming - 5 weeks to go. And difficult child 1 is a voter. Trying to help him understand the issues, the policies, the range of factors - it's difficult. He doesn't take a lot on board, although he's able to follow if we explain things for him. Even though he is now an adult we are constantly 'translating' for him, to help him manage in various ways. Sometimes I feel school doesn't finish with formal education. Marg [/QUOTE]
