December 2009

B ecause the holidays are coming up, we wanted to share application ideas with you and get you started on preparing your communication device for the holidays. We have shared a couple Christmas vocabulary sets to give you ideas for preparing for the upcoming festivities. Look for other ways to include the entire family.

We also have free MACAW and Talara overlay (or pointing) books for Halloween, Thanksgiving, Chanukah, and Christmas. Just ask us for the ones you want. Call ZYGO or send an e-mail to zygo@zygo-usa.com.
