It's been a while

Anna has been using her Tobii c12 at school, but like me, I think her teachers are a little overwhelmed with all of the possibilities that we can do with the computer and it is a little hard to know where to start.  I think we need to start with a page that just has YES NO on it.  Tonight I asked her if she loved me and she said "yes", and when we asked her if she loved dad she said "no".  And of course dad acted all affronted and Anna thought that was funny.  Some of the time she refuses to look at the computer and using it really tires her out very quickly.  Tonight she used it for about thirty minutes, and then somehow she found the tiny little icon that went to a page that let her choose between three different choices and before I knew it she quickly (very quickly) chose "shut down computer".  And believe me I think she really knew what she was doing.  Anna has spent 14 years in her own mind with her own thoughts and now suddenly we want her to interact with us in a meaningful way and she will comply up to a certain point only. She is a teenager after all.  But little by little I think we will continue to make progress but it is going to be slow.
