lol actually, being Punjabi we usually go with Sat Sri Akal, but that's very
observant of you Kathy.
We live in the Potomac-Rockville school district. I'm not sure how much my
sister's cognitive ability would allow her to use a communication device,
though she learns when she has to.
I know transitioning from school is going to be hard for her. She already
doesn't like it.
My Mom said she'd ask about the counselors at school for her to talk to, or
rather for them to talk to her. Hopefully this will open a few doors too.
