I Want a Different Story Please

Yesterday Junior wanted to listen to a story on his ipad. I put the ipad on the stand so he could see it and then gave him his head switch attached to his Super Talker so he could tell me when he needed a new story. As soon as the story started he started hitting the switch. I would change the story and he would hit the switch to ask for a different one, again, and again, and again.

I finally got what he was wanting(he wanted a tv show instead of a story) and turned it on for him.
A couple minutes into the show I hear him ask for different one
I had turned on the show he wanted but had the wrong episode
Thinking he is very smart.
Finally the episode I want

Adding the switch with certain activities really helps Junior avoid frustration. If he is watching a show or listening to a story he can hit the switch to tell me he needs a new one instead of having to holler or get upset to get my attention. It is also helping him get used to using his switch along with the ipad. That will be very helpful when he gets his switch adapter and starts using his head switch on the ipad. The school district has ordered it and we can't wait for it to arrive.
