Assentive Communication: Hey, What's that Sound?
By: Renata Bursten, Dragonfly Staff
To help children match sounds with pictures of instruments, try putting pictures of musical instruments on the Cheap Talk's squares, and add the recorded sounds of the instruments. Here is a game to play: Play the sampled sounds for the child covering the square pressed. Can the child find the right instrument picture? If the sound is the same, they did it!

Q: Can my child make the reciprocal (bicycling) motion with their legs while seated upright?
A: Perhaps straps on the pedals are enough to keep the feet on the pedals throughout the entire trip around. If we need more help, then a Journey model provides incredible torso support, and it shifts the angle of the reciprocating leg motion towards that back where many children can handle it better.
