Idriss

Idriss is a 7-year-old boy from Northern Virginia with autism, ADHD and who does not communicate verbally. The iPad which he uses at school is his sole means of communication. His ability to better communicate with his teachers, peers and family will help address his behavioral issues. A communication device and assistive technology are recommended by his medical team and teachers who believe a device at home will increase his ability to communicate and improve his reading, writing and comprehension skills. His single mom requested an iPad and keyboard that he can use for speech therapy at home and anywhere outside school. The Eric Fund is happy to provide these devices that we hope will lead to greater independence for Idriss.
