This goes out to Kara Lynn and her family.  Kara Lynn is a mother.  She is a mother who has ALS, or Lou Gehrig’s disease and struggles to use her natural voice to communicate.  She is a mother to a son Aiden, who has Down Syndrome, who also struggles to use his voice to communicate.  They both use Proloquo2Go, the augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) solution for the iPhone and iPod touch.  I look up to all mothers who work hard raising their children.  Yet, today, we salute Kara, a mother who works extra hard!
