“Is he excited about the prospect of using such cutting-edge technologies to communicate better? I find it exciting. Stephen has a stubborn attitude towards this sort of thing.

OT web bookmark resource
New year. New resolutions. I don’t have many other than to fix up a number of the little OT (and AAC) web based projects I have had on the go. First up is the link database.

Chuffing Regular Expressions! I have had it with them! I need something a bit more powerful and something that doesn’t eat my entire computer..I’ve tried a whole range of methods and nothing is working - I have come to the conclusion I’m doing it all wrong.

Gaming in Education
Love this. It’s a post from Joel Levin. He is a computer teacher at a private school in NYC.  One of many recent little things to explore in my current role is the use of gaming to support education in children with speech, language and communication difficulties.
