      I research about Total Communication. It was so risky because I had bad sign language, poor English, and a lack of speech in a mainstream school when I grew up there. My parents spoke Spanish and didn't even know how to sign language. I looked like I was a language deprivation. I wish they chose Cued Speech or Auditory/Oral for me instead of Total Communication

    Cool feature the split screen, allows student to see the front of the room and still take notes. The system allows the student to label files audibly. This is helpful to find notes or pictures later. The telescope also allows student to look at items to large yo fit under unit. The battery system runs for 4 hours and it is easy to swap out the battery. So many new features and the screen is pretty large. The screen is Touch screen!
