Play Tip!
The Graphics Mobile clamps onto more then just cribs! Try clamping the mobile onto the back of a stable chair and positioning it over a child lying on the floor. For a change, unhook the cards and add your own special objects. Try holographic pictures, shiny ribbons, tinsel, leaves, or anything that strikes your fancy!

Teaching Facial Expressions to Children With Autism and PDD with Smart Alex
Trying saying one name for each emotion Smart Alex shows, and then use the same word and show the same emotion at appropriate times during your time away from the computer. Setting up a mirror near the computer can be a good way to practice smiling, frowning and other expressions as well.
