 * Hi Amber, Stephen, Patricia, and Vanessa, **


 * Stephen, **


 * Thanks for sending me what you and Amber had worked on. Amber did a good job on the boardmaker visual support. Sorry you had trouble pasting the image on the Word doc. **


 * I was able to put it on there. Let me know if you guys see it fine. View the document attached titled: SPA6437 Grp4 Visual Support Low Tech.docx **


 * The formatting looks good right now but would like to polish it just a bit! **


 * I'm working on our 'high tech' screen shots of the MyTalk app. It'll be a challenge combining 5 screen shots in one page. Not sure how I will do that yet. Otherwise, I'll just have to insert all 5 images in the word doc. **


 * So here's the summary, basically we'll have 2 Word documents to submit for our project: One of the Low Tech Visual Schedule (Amber & Stephen) and One High Tech- MyTalk App (Gracejoy, Patricia, and Vanessa) **


 * In the end, I'll probably end up combining both Word docs into one document. I'll send the final to you guys hopefully by tomorrow evening! **


 * Do you guys know if we have to submit our project INDIVIDUALLY or when I submit it, it's good for the whole group? I included all our names in the low tech document here and will do the same for the other doc. **

 * Hi Vanessa, **


 * I just got back from my church's family camp this weekend that I helped organize. Sorry for not getting back to you sooner about the outcome of our meeting and I'm sorry also if you have not heard from the other 4 members of our group. I'm sort of in a panic mode because of my Comps Exam as well as the 20-something days left to my wedding. (I don't like to make excuses but that's all I have right now) **


 * I know we are all leaders of this group and we all have to give equally. Looking at my notes from our meeting, your part is number 2 (Brief Description of the Child) and #4 Brief Description & Justification of the PURPOSE of Visual Supports Created. Guidelines on this info are given on page 4 of our SL Guidelines. **


 * You, me, and Patricia are working on 2 (high tech) very simple Visual Support on the MyTalk app for Stella: **


 * a. Greetings **


 * b. Food (Requests) **


 * Call me anytime tomorrow so I can explain it to you a little better. I'm planning to work on it tomorrow to send you 5 screen shots of this aspect of our project. My cell is 407-928-1844. Amber and Stephen are working on low-tech (choice board made in a folder) for Stella so that our project addresses both low and high tech supports. **


 * Please give me your cell number as well and email add that you check regularly outside of the webcourse. **


 * -Gracejoy **


 * p.s. I will also post this info on our wiki. **

== Decide on the type of visual support/low-tech AAC tools you will create (e.g., schedule system for a specific task like potty training, choice board for two activities, social story relevant to a targeted social concept, etc.) and generate a plan for how/when you will: ==

== So far, most of us gave ideas on a few different types of visual supports to meet Stella’s needs. Tomorrow afternoon at our meeting: we need to decide as a group which of the following 2 visual supports we will work on: ==


 * 1) == Digital Photographs of Visual Supports Created: ==
 * 2) == Description of Visual Supports Created: ___ ==
 * 3) == Brief Description of Child: __ ==
 * 4) == Brief Description & Justification of Purpose of Visual Supports Created: _Gracejoy Hauser_ ==
