Califone Card Reader Helps Autistic Children Communicate, Learn

Being a teacher of autistic children, I am always looking for unique ideas, strategies and technological devices that can assist me in providing the best education possible for my children. As many people know, there are varying degrees of autism, and oftentimes one will hear the term "Autism Spectrum Disorders" to encompass the broad range of autism disorders. The children I teach are all nonverbal, with the exception of one. Any vocalizations that they do make, is referred to by a term called eholalia, or repetition of what someone else has spoken. I recently was approved to purchase a device called the Califone Card Reader. The Speech Therapist at our school was familiar with the card reader, and highly recommended it.
