Who knows how many other people without speech might benefit - all because their parents, caregivers, teachers, or what-have-you have read your words. My daughter learned to communicate using a Letterboard when she was 10 years old. There was a time when we thought she had Rhett's Syndrome. Then they thought Angelman's Syndrome. Whatever the label, she could not speak and could not control her motor movements and so life was very limited. Communication has brought enormous freedom and joy into her life. One day we hope all individuals who have been unjustly labelled and held back will find their voice and live as they have every right to. Thanks again for your efforts! Lisa Dear Karly,

It sucks to be sick! I cannot imagine someone else deciding my day or what might be interesting to me. We are all individual and have individual interests! Please, when you feel better, share with us what things interest you! FOr instance, what are your favorite topics to discuss? What kind of stories do you like? What are some of your favorite places? What kind of music do you like? Favorite Singer/Performer, etc. I know you have a love of horses, a love I happen to share with you! I do believe that physical challenges aside, you and I are really not so different, are we? Get better soon! I'm anxious to hear more of what you have to say! Sandy Karly,
