Michael SHOWED what he wanted!

We've had a couple mellow weeks, soaking up the sun and relaxing. We ♥ summer! Today something great happened! I got a call from M's teacher this morning. M had been wanting to go out onto the playground when it wasn't playground time. He banged and cried at the door, which is normal. He dragged his teacher to the door, also pretty normal. He got frustrated because no one was taking him out. Then he calmed down, walked to the place cards they use (cards with words and pictures indicating things like snack time, circle time, bus time) and he brought her the one with the playground on it. She was so excited and took him out right away. I'm going to have to come up with one for at home, with things like stroller ride, car, playground, food, etc. This is also really making me lean towards the iPad even more for communication.

I recommend the iPad for communication picture cards to encourage Michael to show is wants needs.
