I have learned so much by reading all the replies here, and now hope that I can get my mute to communicate. When in my t's office I can here a lot come from that Mute part, but here at home I cant seem to communicate with it. I have tried writing out questions, asking inside, and drawing pictures but still nothing. if your mute alter communicates, how do you do it? I wonder why mine only comes out in my t's office? Any suggestions?
