Thanks....Very helpful to hear her feedback on both. Thanks. Interesting to hear re: the non-verbal people and how laptops aren't helpful to them. That helps me more, as well, in deciding re: one over the other in trying to communicate w/my clients.<br /><br />I was a little confused as to *where* the text "jumbles" for people; was that on paper? I just find that whole thing re: how an electronic screen helps people more because I used to struggle quite a bit w/reading anything on a screen and needed to print everything out. I guess that I am more of a tactile learner; something that she didn't talk too much about.<br /><br />She had some pretty good points re: whether something would still be there, in 10 years, w/the way technology is going, these days. I'll have to agree that that is one other "argument" for books to still be made available in paper format.<br /><br />Thanks for posting this, Eo; I appreciate that very much. Please thank Mr. Edgerly for his wonderful interview w/Ms. Grandin. Her feedback is invaluable to the community.<br /><br />Another person I would really appreciate him interviewing, sometime, for some of the same feedback, but from a different "angle" of the Autistic community would be <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=34xoYwLNpvw" rel="nofollow">Carly Fleischmann</a> and her father, Arthur Fleischmann, who, together wrote '<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Carlys-Voice-ebook/dp/B005FLOEGA/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1334600013&sr=8-3" rel="nofollow">Carly's Voice</a>.' I am working w/(2) people, right now, that I would very much like to see if there was a better way for all of us to communicate than the minimal that is going on, now. These people are given lots of instructions but not a whole lot of input is happening, from them, sadly. I am attempting to determine whether an iPad or a Kindle would be more helpful and...from what I just heard, from Miss Temple, I think that I am leaning toward an iPad. I believe that I need some sort of picture communicating app at this point in order for us to get some sort of interaction going on.TC [Girl]https://www.blogger.com/profile/13627383459407464083noreply@blogger.com
