Hope and practical tips for families with special needs kids, to strengthen connections and increase communication. 

Your much-loved kid may not say words, 
but they do have something to say to everyone. 
I got trained as a processional later in life so I can better help you. 

Therapists and teachers can’t go to your home, family event, church, or local Y. Only you can! 

My developmentally disabled autistic son cannot speak. His communication was poor until he was a teenager. Now he uses AAC instead of “mouth words.” I can barely keep up with him.  

His successes include:
• Appeared as the first non-speaking autistic person live on TV in the annual 9/11 anniversary.
• Won a statewide award for developmentally disabled adults advocating (“self advocate”).
• Represented concerns of his peers and national organizations to officials in the State Capitol and US Congress, for 5 years now.
