Cook It's kind of fun to do the impossible. Walt Disney It is not enough to do your best; you must know what to do, and THEN do your best. W. Edwards Deming Did those bus drivers regret singing? If all pulled in one direction, the world would keel over. -Yiddish proverb I get from most parents is ?Can you teach my child to talk?? This question has haunted me for years. Did Alfred's niece like playing well? Toren came to me at age 32 months. He had 2 words: Ma Ma and Bye Bye. He could not focus, but ran around the room. His mother was convinced I was going to have him cured by his third birthday. I told her I was no miracle worker, but we'd do what we could during the next 4 months. Immediately we started structuring Toren's day. I went home and worked up a program called 'Toren's Nouns'. The first day I showed Toren the program, he looked at it for 10-15 seconds and then left the computer. The next day he stayed about 30 seconds. Each day he built up more time at the computer. By the second week, he would sit on my lap for 10 minutes pressing whichever word he wanted to hear. But he spoke no sounds, no words. Three weeks passed. I began berating myself. 'See, Jo, you thought this noun program was so great. Look at Toren, he's not learning anything.' The fourth week Toren walked over to the computer, picked up the overlay from the IntelliKeys keyboard, pointed to 10 different words and approximated each word. That day, I cried. I am not missing surfing. It is dangerous to be right in matters on which the established authorities are wrong. -Voltaire [Fran?ois Marie Arouet] (1694-1778) About happiness There is only one success: to be able to spend your life in your own way, and not to give others absurd maddening claims upon it. -Christopher Darlington Morley (1890-1957) Whenever you find you are on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect. -Mark Twain [Samuel Langhornne Clemens] (1835-1910) Do the right thing. It will gratify some people and astonish the rest. -Mark Twain [Samuel Langhornne Clemens] (1835-1910) From xziicgxnjinyiq at bonbon.net Thu Jan 6 01:35:22 2005 From: xziicgxnjinyiq at bonbon.net (Francisca M.

That photographer isn't enjoying fighting. Do the right thing. It will gratify some people and astonish the rest. -Mark Twain [Samuel Langhornne Clemens] (1835-1910) Then I started 'teaching'. You know, I'm a good teacher. (Well, maybe just an average teacher, but you get the jist). I know what good teachers do. Or I thought I did. I sat with the children at the computer. When they pressed the IntelliKeys' keyboard or the Touch Window' and the computer said the word, I repeated the word and then expanded on the word. After they had pressed the same word several times, I said, "That's right, that's a cat, can you find the dog?? Suddenly, I would see the child's back get stiff, and before you knew it, he got up and left the computer. I didn't understand. Just a few seconds ago, he loved it. What happened? Another rule implemented was that the student was allowed to spend as much or as little time at the computer as he/she wished. There would be no more, 'We aren't finished, yet.' The student would to be in charge of his own learning at the computer. I didn't hate dancing last night at eleven. This program is not intended as a miracle program. It is meant to be a bridge--the bridge from real objects to 2-dimensional photos. It is meant to allow the students to hear the words repeatedly and then in context. It is meant to help start the students talking. This program is not the finished end product, it is a tool. You, the teacher, parent or therapist, are the best communicators. When your student or child looks at you as if to say please Teach Me To Talk use this program as part of the process. Do the right thing. It will gratify some people and astonish the rest. -Mark Twain [Samuel Langhornne Clemens] (1835-1910) About happiness There is only one success: to be able to spend your life in your own way, and not to give others absurd maddening claims upon it. -Christopher Darlington Morley (1890-1957) If all pulled in one direction, the world would keel over. -Yiddish proverb About happiness There is only one success: to be able to spend your life in your own way, and not to give others absurd maddening claims upon it. -Christopher Darlington Morley (1890-1957) From BlackAlmohadesIOS636 at toughguy.net Mon Jan 17 06:19:04 2005 From: BlackAlmohadesIOS636 at toughguy.net (Leila Stephan) Date: Mon Jan 17 06:20:44 2005 Subject: [Biobiz] Shipment Status, Package Number : 9935OEA64626RJH Message-ID: Every generation laughs at the old fashions, but follows religiously the new. -Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862) Lots of times you have to pretend to join a parade in which you're not really interested in order to get where you're going. -Christopher Darlington Morley (1890-1957) No man or woman who tries to pursue an ideal in his or her own way is without enemies. -Daisy Bates (1863-1951) John was enjoying sleeping near the tree.
