Before I got involved with them, Aniforms, the live animation company, had 
a contract with a children's rehabilitation group of some kind.  They used 
the animated characters on a TV monitor to communicate with kids who 
refused to talk to adults.  I like Willy's idea of a puppet who has trouble 
reading as a way to stimulate children with the same problem.  Very clever.
