[QUOTE="buddy, post: 522289, member: 12886"] I agree, laugh. I am surprised she used words that seem a little judgmental-- I probably would have said "unique" instead of "odd" which can be kind of hurtful....but I dont think she intended it that way. Just being honest that his appearance may make him stand out and that some may consider him in a stereo-typed kind of way so she wanted to set the record straight, in the end a compliment??. I LOVE that difficult child thought youngster was the dig. We have Dragon Naturally Speaking and yes it takes training it to his voice but it is sooo much better each new version and the one we have worked really well for our basic stuff right from the start. If he likes techie stuff he may enjoy the process. I thought it was fun myself, my son just is not cognitively able to be that understanding of what it takes. For him too, predictive programs worked much better. Maybe make sure (since the other is easily installed on their computers and they likely have it already) they have options so he can try. in my humble opinion, should have been an assessment process where he tried different types before they decided, but they can assess ongoing as he uses them too. Was he in S/L for language or speech too? (does he have speech sound errors?, I would assume not since they would know better than to recommend it, but nothing surprises me anymore, LOL) Hope it goes well! Glad he is getting some support.
