Makaton is a popular program used with children with cerebral palsy that are having trouble with communication. The program starts the family off using pictures, symbols and sign language with the aim to have speech take over.
From the Makaton Site:
This might surprise you, as you would perhaps think that signing would prevent speech developing. But research suggests very strongly that this is not the case. In fact the opposite occurs, as signing seems to positively encourage speech development. Many hundreds of thousands of children and adults have been helped significantly in this manner.
Many families of children with cerebral palsy have found the technique extremely useful and a better solution than sole use of communication boards.

I wish more people would write blogs like this that are actually interesting to read. With all the fluff floating around on the web, it is refreshing to read a blog like yours instead.

This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.
It’s so lucky for me to find your blog! So shocking and great! Just one suggestion: It will be better and easier to follow if your blog can offer rrs subscription service.
I have been lurking here for awhile so I decided to register, and drop by to say hi!

This may be off-topic, but how about changing the layout every now and then? Maybe not if it won’t look right though. My own computer has about 1000 wallpapers that randomly rotate every 15 minutes, lol. Adult ADD I guess. Good post though, thanks.
I don’t even use Google translate anymore, there’s free software that will do it for you faster and better. http://tinyurl.com/freetranslationsoftware
