Matt

I bought myself an iPad mini to use at work a few weeks ago.  I decided that I had spent enough of my money in colored ink, lamination and Velcro to justify buying an iPad to replace a zillion little boardmaker pictures. I found a really nice free app that lets me make my own simple talking communication boards.   I also found some great apps and stimulus photos for various kinds of therapy activities.  Matt asked how I liked my new mini.  I said I loved it, but in a perfect world, I would have a mini and a full sized iPad. Matt asked why. I told him that for some kids, I need one for targets, like the picture we are describing, and one with the choice board or visual supports to complete the activity.  Today, Matt said he had a present for me.  I was thrilled with my new fancy earbuds that are designed to stay in your ears when you are working out.  Then he handed me another box.  It was a 64 GB iPad.  I was so excited, of course I posted on Facebook!  Somebody asked why he bought it for me.  I asked him how I should respond and he said, "Because I believe in what you are doing and want to support that.  And I love you."

Thank you Matt for making my world perfectly wonderful.....long before you gave me the iPad.
