Thank you for allowing me to join your group. My name is Ethan is and I am 17-year-old nonverbal boy with autism and verbal apraxia. At the age of 10, the experts said I would never read, write, or do math. Today, I am doing advanced math including algebra. My reading comprehension is amazing, My handwriting is legible and improving daily, and I types 65 words a minute independently.

It is for these parents that we created this video full of hope and inspiration. Ethan was one of these children, told by the “experts” after conventional methods did not seem to be working, that Ethan would never read, write, or do ordinary academics. His goal in life would be to learn life skills only. Ethan has proved them wrong! Through hard work, patience, and an alternative teaching strategy that begins with believing the child can learn and thinking outside the “conventional” box, Ethan has learned what was deemed impossible.
