Here they are...

After days of research we decided that T. would get a new talker to get rid of the problems with the old one.
Our choice fell on an IPad mini with "Metatalk". "Metatalk " includes about 5000 words in icons, which can be chosen. They speak the words for T. and they are even able to use the right grammar.
T. is used to icons and a talker since years, but these icons and their system is new for her.
During my research I've learned, that modeling is very important for the acceptance. If a baby learns to speak, it is listening to  loads of words within the first two years from the whole environment (Parents, family, radio...) before it starts to speak the first own words. So if the kids should learn to talk with a talker, they need a lot of examples for the use and not in an educative way, but used in the everyday life.
That's why we activated an old, sorted out Ipad, too. Now we can have conversations via the talkers. 
T. enjoyed her first experience with her IPad mini. We were discovering the really important words like "You are a silly cow" (See extra) and had a lot of fun.

It was also a big fun to play with Ingeborgs theme for Abstract Thursday "ICM (Intentional Camera Movement)". Thank you, Ingeborg for hosting this fun challenge :-)
