@KaraLG84 @TheSwitchMaster If you pair the audio with the visual, you can hear “no, no, no, yes” with each “no” advancing the selection/cursor on a menu and each “ah” or “yes” making a selection.

First time I’ve used a computer with my voice. Sound actions for Switch Control in iOS 15! #a11y

(Turn on video sound to hear me.)

@bbfpam @TVI_ting @TVI_Adam I love the Blue2 from Ablenet as it stays set up for teachers and it’s programmable if you want to do something fancy. I don’t hand a child the blue2 since the switches are too close, I plug in an external switch like the 3’ smoothie switch and I mount it!

[Lydia TVI @TviLydia]

@bbfpam @TVI_ting @TVI_Adam Mount the iPad up for the eyes and mount the switch down for the hands. Most little ones can’t look at the screen and use the screen as a switch. Too many motor demands.

Pro tip for PIAF machine use. When running through a typical printer first determine the right side up and setting that eliminates run off. At home it’s “transparency” and at my office it’s “card stock”. Then make a note on the printer so you don’t forget. #A11Y

Undiagnosed to diagnosis took 10 years for my friend Alex Yiu. This is his story https://t.co/I3v2TzCm8R His family is looking to connect to others who struggle with no diagnosis, and share hope.

Such an important topic! I feel fortunate to have heard @mbelotesf speak on CAPD twice now and believe this applies to many learners with CVI. Thank you @scotlandcvi for sharing.

Everyone communicates! So many benefits to using AAC even before the child is at the expressive stage of language. What is holding you up?

New blog by Gordon Dutton

Parents (of all VI children) must teach their child language, using consistent meaningful words to match objects, people, places, feelings-everything!

Children flourish.
