A 5-year-old boy with autism, chased around with a video camera to capture some of the things he writes. (Quinn thinks this video is *hilarious* — has me play the Pixar scene over and over for him.)

Does Quinn use any istive technology devices to communicate? I have a student in the summer who has incredible language skills, but is non verbal, and we have given him an alpha talker. He converses with us through that! It has helped us and his family to understand his wants, needs and feelings. What a lucky young man to have such a caring Mom. I work in special education, and this is not always the norm. Love shines in this child’s bright eyes! Amazing job you are doing there Mom!
