Hi...yes, we are the sunbelt Sequim! And I am lucky enough to live right
next to the Olympic National Forest.
Thanks to our sp. ed. director, Rita Thatcher, and Ann Black at Central
Wash. State U., we were involved in the LD Tech research project last year.
I do work with students using NaturallySpeaking..However, most of our
students graduated last year, so I am training some much younger ones
(middle schoolers) this year. The biggest problem they have is developing
the ability to "think and talk" in a coherent way. Perhaps by starting them
young, we can practice that skill so that it will be fluent by high school.
The new 3.53, after the "bug fix" is in place, works quickly and well on a
fast Pentium (which I have, thanks to Ann).
