This morning was Kaylee's time with Kym. Kaylia loves her time with Kym and I think the feeling is mutual! It's turned into a special ritual.
I had arranged to meet with a Curtin Uni software researcher in the afternoon so Kaylia & I made it into an outing .... we went the E-shed at Fremantle .... Kaylia discovered deep fried sausages!
The Curtin research is into a software for the iPad which will aid people to learn to think ... it's using the same principles that Kaylia's therapy is based on. The visit was to see how Kaylia reacted to the trial version. It was clear from her actions that there were some "fine tuning" changes to be made. It's going to very interesting to see how it develops.
I have an idea that a tool like this could be valuable in places like Bali ... at present there is little that can be done for Balinese children who have autism. A computer program can be used by almost untrained adults ... yet it can make a difference.
