Why iPhones 4 Autism?
Did you know that your old iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad can give a child with Autism or developmental speech delay a way to communicate exactly what they want? Here's the history of this campaign as explained by the founder, Lisa Domican: Many kids with autism or speech delay use pictures attached to a board to ask for what they need or say how they feel. These boards are stored in a book which the user carries around with them. Even when they begin to speak, they may be difficult to understand, so they rely on a growing picture vocabulary which can become very unwieldy. Lisa says: As a mother of a little girl with autism with few words but a lot of pictures, I wanted to keep encouraging her speech development, but I wanted to be sure we always had the pictures we needed, wherever we went.
