Harri and I have returned from 4 days away at our 2nd Camp Have-A-Chat. Held in the 2nd week of the school holidays, Camp Have-A-Chat is a special camp run by the Cerebral Palsy League, for children who have difficulties communicating.
While at camp this year Harri trialled the latest speech generation device with eye gaze module. Despite the fact that he had not used the language system of the device before and he had never meet his 2 personal aid's ( Alana and Steph - 4th year speech therapy students ), Harri did remarkable well.
He engaged in making decisions based around the theme of this years camp, minnie me in my imagination.
There was some news crews from channel 9 and channel 10 as well as some news paper reporters. The story aired on Wednesday the 2nd of October on both 9 & 10. I don not have a link to these stories or have not seen the final edit yet, but i will post a link as soon as i get 1.
For now it is back to school with a new teacher ( Kathrine ) for Tuesday - Thursday
Regards Matt
