independently and saved it in a Notebook in his communication device. Once

all the ideas, characters and main theme was in place, his speech therapist,

job coach and mother assisted him in forming it into the story by giving him

a lot of choices and asking a lot of open ended questions. We did assist with

some suggestions, but if Max did not agree, it was not included.

Max loves to write and will spend hours in his room independently writing.

He enjoys writing motivational speeches and emails.

Once upon a time there was a girl named Ablyn who liked to fly. She lived in Honolulu

with her dogs, Www.com and B2w. Www.com has the most dramatic talker for acting.

It turns his barks into words!

Honolulu has the most magnificent rainbows. Ablyn, Www.com and B2w fly magically to

the other side of the rainbow to play with empty toy boxes. All the actual toys stayed

with children on this side of the rainbow. Ablyn and the dogs go swimming in the rainbow

ocean. They bowled with rainbow balls during doggy bowling day. How will they

find their way back home?

They have heard of an island in the rainbow ocean with a launching couch. They know

they must find the launching couch to bounce them back to the other side of the rainbow

when they are ready. They decide they must visit a library to find a map showing the

location of the island with the fun launching couch.

They begin their journey to the island by riding on a bus singing. Do we want to make a

stop at the concert school? The dogs wanted to visit this school where the curriculum is

taught through songs. What a great way to learn! The dogs are happy! They dance

and do gymnastics to the songs. They want to stay, they want to play games. Ten

games. Do the want another game? Yes, but Ablyn reminds them it is time to go home.

They must get back to riding on the bus. Ablyn and the dogs play games on the bus.

There is an actor sitting on the bus listening to music through a Vanguard. Ablyn asks

him if he knows the best way to get to the island of the launching couch. He knows!

Using his communication device, he tells them they must ride the bus to the air train station.

The air train will stop at the island.

They love the air train! It is fast and fun. Finally, they descend onto land. It is the island

of the launching couch. They quickly get in line to jump on the couch and get

bounced back home.

1,2,3,4 they all get bounced very high. They land. Wait a minute, they landed in Kentucky.

Oh no! They looked around and decided to take a vacation at the Kentucky castle.

It turned out the actor from the bus happened to own the Kentucky castle! He invited

them to stay for as long as they wanted. Ablyn, Www.com, and B2w enjoyed their vacation

so much they decided to live there! read
