Cortney's Communication Device.....
Back in 2002, when Cortney wasn't talking much, and when she did it was one word utterances, we were lucky enough to acquire this communication device. I fought long and hard to get this.....many letters of medical necessity......many, many times. During these past 7 years, it augmented her speech, but the amazing part? Her verbal communication grew by leaps and bounds! This machine served as her model, and she became a quick learner. So recently, her teachers and I met with a rep from the company to see if there were new and more innovative ways to use this device, and of course there were........ : )
To aid in her furthering speech, it was necessary to purchase 3 flashdrives. I picked up these cute colorful ones at Target. (You know the place? The one where you can never get out of the store without at least spending a $100? Yea, that one.) I needed to label them, so her teachers and I use each flashdrive for a specific purpose. So being the scrappy gal I am, I decided to label each one using a luggage tag. I used Noel Mignon's 5 ft 2 & Eyes of Blue kit and JustRite's Times New Roman font and horizontal stamper to write Cort's name.
Here is the other side of the tag.
