A Simple Swipe Can Change a Life

Many nonverbal students also exhibit behavioral issues because they can't communicate their needs and desires without great effort. Recently, a Fort Worth, Texas school district tested a new program in an effort to break the silence. Simply providing nonverbal students with an iPad with special software and a bit of simple instruction, students were able to swipe symbols on the pad to convert text to speech. For many, this was the first time to communicate in their lives. Those who exhibited poor behavior due to the frustration of not being able to communicate had great success and their behavior (in some cases) made a 360-degree turnaround. Read about a few of the students and the tremendous results of the study.
