OHH...
It's a crocodile!
[Okay Hunter, we will get going now.]
[I will just get my shoes.]
Okay
My name is Lisa. When I first got an iPod touch...
I started using Proloquo2Go...
and it started opening up my world...
and Hunter's.
Then I moved to an iPad...
and it was so much more efficient again.
I actually didn't start using any kind of speech generating...
voice device until Hunter was about two.
[I forgot to ring Kate about...
picking you up this afternoon...
so I will leave a message at the school office today...
to let you know who is picking you up]
Okay, who is?
I realised that I really needed to find something...
when he started asking really profound questions.
Like why are there stars at night...
and things that I couldn't just answer with a 'yes' or 'no'...
or that I could fix with a hug.
They sell products at a really cheap price...
And the product is essentially the same.
[They sell to members only in bulk lots]
So by buying in bulk, they can sell at a cheaper price...
and customers get a better value.
I go to university...
and I'm studying business, with three minors...
in Marketing, Human Resource Management...
and Entrepreneurship.
[And on the mission statement can you add something...
about it's also driven by ethical practice]
Being non-verbal is a challenge...
but when people understand how I communicate...
they realize I have a brain, and something to contribute.
[I've only just got an Aussie accent...
and made it deeper to sound really sexy.]
Hunter...
Another challenge sometimes...
is not being able to yell at Hunter...
from another room...
but he knows my angry and happy noises.
[Who made all this mess?]
Uh... Oh oh...
[Who is going to clean it up?]
Me!
[Maybe tell the story about how we went to Disneyland]
I can't remember, that happened a long time ago...
Oh!
I can't... I forgot.
Uhm... Who did we go with?
I guess the biggest challenge...
is the perception from the community...
that I'm not an equal.
[Who did we see there?]
Mickey Mouse?
Mr. Donald...
and we saw... Mr. 'quack-quack'...
Mr. 'Goo- Goo- Goofy'!
He is funny... he's always goofing around.
