I'm a mom of a 10 year old girl with Down's Syndrome and Autism.  With her help I've developed an educational tool that helps children like her to develop vocabulary and learn to read.  It is not yet available on the market but I'm happy to share ideas with other parents who have these struggles.

    Dear @martakr30 - May I ask if you have a Speech & Language Therapist involved at this stage?

    Danny, it's not so much that she has great skills, it's really that she (and other children) has responded so well to the materials that we decided to share it with the world.

    @camptys,

    well done to you both. More evidence that people on the autism spectrum, whether it's severe autism or high-functioning autism like to help others. To accomplish this your daughter must have great skills and talents.
    Danny, Further to my previous post and your response, this is just to say please have a look at the website for the product in order to have a better understanding of it.  It's a wonderful feeling to see the children's reaction - to see hope restored in their parents.
