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.

Did you notice the rub ons at the bottom? A Happy Moment........Recorded. How perfect! (And it is in Noel's kit too!)
