Amad
Amad, an 11-year-old boy from Northern Virginia completed 5th grade this year. Amad has autism and communication challenges. His mother explains that Amad is “very social and loves to read, ride his bicycle, go to the playground, and play football with his older brother;” however, he gets frustrated trying to communicate with his family at home. The new iPad with the TouchChat App purchased by The Eric Fund will help Amad to communicate at home where he doesn’t have access to a communication device like the one he uses at school.
