 That's not necessarily uncommon. When Lily first started, she was nonverbal and she used an iPad to talk. It's called an AAC device. That is Caitlin Haas, mom to four-year-old Lily, who has Down syndrome and rides at Hope Springs Equestrian Therapy in southeastern Pennsylvania. One of my favorite memories with Hope Springs was when we had a lesson with Miss Jeannie and we were driving home.
