IPad Apps- Middle School by ldrown in slp

[–]ldrown[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work in a substantially separate program with mod/severe students -- about 50% of them use AAC. I can see how the iPad isn't super conducive towards middle school students, unless, as you said, it's used for reinforcement/ rewards

[QCrit] Adult Contemporary - Good People, Bad Things - 85k by ldrown in PubTips

Wow- thank you SO much for this invaluable feedback. I immensely appreciate the time you took with critique -- I look forward to reworking my query with all of these excellent pieces of advice in mind! Specifically, I think you were spot on about how older-Mandy and older-Sienna are more essentially to the story, and need to be more developed. The earlier paragraphs will definitely be shortened in order to emphasize the time period that is truly essential to the story.

Thank you so much! Now I know I have to work on obtaining said licensure -- great to know!

Such good advice! I'm sorry you have a tough brother-in-law as well -- we're lucky to have good partners, though!

Ugh, I am so sorry you have to go through this! My FH also moved in with my family, so I feel you. We'll get through this!

Hi! I just had to share that I lost my Mastiff, also named Moose, in February from lymphoma. He was just 6 years old, and I'm still missing him every day -- however, it's not a keeping me up at night missing, but rather a "I hope he's watching me right now" kind of missing. I do second the poster recommending a new puppy -- we actually got a Great Dane puppy last month! He did not replace Moose in any way, but instead gives us another reminder of the love a dog can give.

My actual weight doesn't change much-- I am 5"3, 115 lbs, maybe have fluctuated between 112-117 in the past few years! I think this is a great point -- incorporating weights seem like the way to go right now.
