Speaking from experience, just allow him to play and explore on his own, I
did that a few years back when I changed vocabularies, and it was very
effective. When he locates whatever he wants, it definitely encourages him
to try more, but you don't want to get on him for incomplete sentences, just
back off until you know he knows where something is. I was once with
somebody who insisted on complete sentences from somebody who barely got
their device and that was totally stressing and discouraging them

Will do - the rep is in town on Monday so we will get our training then - in
the meantime, we are starting to play around with it and will be trying to
determine what will work best for Matt (pictures and speech for each). He
found tacos today and was very proud of himself!
Will catch up later next week once I have had a bit of time with it.

You have to keep us updated on your experience with the Sam XPI Tablet, I
don't think I have seen one before, but at conferences I tend to stay away
from other company's booths. If there's a device I truly want to look at, I
have my attendants do my snooping, they know what to ask and how to get
companies to talk.
