00:00:07.250 --> 00:00:09.800
<v Woman>My eight year old son Logan has autism,</v>

3
00:00:09.800 --> 00:00:13.099
has epilepsy, has ADHD, he's very high energy

4
00:00:13.099 --> 00:00:16.459
and very funny and is a super fun amazing kid.

5
00:00:16.459 --> 00:00:18.438
<v ->See, good job.</v>

6
00:00:18.438 --> 00:00:19.440
<v Logan>Excellent.</v>

7
00:00:19.440 --> 00:00:21.630
<v ->Logan has historically had a lot of challenges</v>

8
00:00:21.630 --> 00:00:24.123
with his behavior, he was non verbal for many years.

9
00:00:24.123 --> 00:00:28.320
In the past year and a half since he started school

10
00:00:28.320 --> 00:00:29.680
he's just blossomed.

11
00:00:29.680 --> 00:00:31.860
We really start to see his personality

12
00:00:31.860 --> 00:00:33.541
that you didn't see much of before.

13
00:00:33.541 --> 00:00:36.261
He's learning a lot at every moment.

14
00:00:36.261 --> 00:00:38.428
(tapping)

15
00:00:39.560 --> 00:00:42.170
he loves people he has trouble sometimes communicating

16
00:00:42.170 --> 00:00:43.790
to people but he does love people,

17
00:00:43.790 --> 00:00:45.300
he likes making other people laugh

18
00:00:45.300 --> 00:00:47.259
and he enjoys when they make him laugh.

19
00:00:47.259 --> 00:00:49.676
(soft music)

20
00:00:54.170 --> 00:00:55.780
Logan started playing with the voice remote

21
00:00:55.780 --> 00:00:58.600
before I knew the voice option exists on the remote.

22
00:00:58.600 --> 00:01:00.020
He figured it out himself.

23
00:01:00.020 --> 00:01:01.350
Play Little Einstein.

24
00:01:01.350 --> 00:01:03.518
He likes to talk and make things happen

25
00:01:03.518 --> 00:01:05.440
so the fact that he can push a button

26
00:01:05.440 --> 00:01:07.130
and and this case I think the first time he used it

27
00:01:07.130 --> 00:01:08.790
was he wanted to play Little Einstein.

28
00:01:08.790 --> 00:01:09.656
<v ->Little Einstein.</v>

29
00:01:09.656 --> 00:01:12.675
<v ->He said Little Einstein and the TV itself reacted.</v>

30
00:01:12.675 --> 00:01:16.019
That was a fantastic reinforcement of him communicating.

31
00:01:16.019 --> 00:01:17.736
<v ->Shark Tank.</v>

32
00:01:17.736 --> 00:01:19.986
(giggling)

33
00:01:20.979 --> 00:01:23.396
(soft music)

34
00:01:24.670 --> 00:01:27.416
<v ->Logan very much so responds to cause and effect</v>

35
00:01:27.416 --> 00:01:31.299
so he likes the idea that when he does something

36
00:01:31.299 --> 00:01:32.835
it gets reaction.

37
00:01:32.835 --> 00:01:36.800
There's an old saying that you meet one kid with autism

38
00:01:36.800 --> 00:01:38.190
you've met one kid with autism.

39
00:01:38.190 --> 00:01:40.158
So it's hard to predict how different kids

40
00:01:40.158 --> 00:01:42.136
would use technology in different ways.

41
00:01:42.136 --> 00:01:45.893
Having a tool that he's communicating with

42
00:01:45.893 --> 00:01:50.063
in a way that is helpful for his learning is remarkable.
