How exciting! I worked with students with autism using a Smartboard and was thrilled with how they responded to it. It just made sense to them and they began to do things I hadn't been able to observe before. As you said in your previous post "these kiddos have the answer there all along...you just have to find the key to let it out!" In many ways the Smartboard was one of these "keys" for my students. Have you seen this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1uPf5O-on0? It is about a child whose parents and support workers found the "key". Very inspiring. All the best with your Smartboard!!!
