Decent, he has severe apraxia compounded with other dx which makes his "typical" speech prognosis poor, but he's had an AAC device since he was 3 (now 10). He's perfectly capable of arguing with me via his device lol.

Nice. I taught special ed and my son has autism.. it's good to know there are kids out there who do use their devices to communicate lol
