Also, I suspect J is spot-on about the signs. It's a dicey situation; now that Gwen is 8 and is very self-conscious about social issues and rejecting the AAC somewhat (which is even frustrating on a social level as the other kids were drawn to hang out with her because she has had the AAC), she still falls back on some signs. 'Play' also means 'plain' like, 'I want a plain bagel.'
But the trouble was also what J said; when she was younger she'd gallop up to you, sign something, then gallop off, oblivious as to whether you were looking or not because she refused to make eye contact. It made signs extremely frustrating, so we just didn't push them.
