My school is in an impoverished neighborhood in the Bedford Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn. My students may not have a lot of material possessions, but they all have a lot of heart. Every day they work hard. Every day is a struggle as they try to communicate. My students are age 7 and younger. They each have autism, some more profound than others. Studies show that the use of symbols and devices to communicate greatly increases verbal speech. I want to provide each of my students with a communication system while they are still so young. We have limited resources and therefore few devices for so many students to share.
