Hello rock lovers,

I want to share this video of one of my autistic students. I know there are members here who have autistic kids. I thought they might be interested in this web site. His name is Isaac and he is in this tv commercial for the TANGO. It is a new device to help them speak and communicate. He is the little blonde haired boy on the slide, bed and kitchen table. If you click on the thumb nail it should play the short video clip. For those of you who have autistic kids you may be interested in this web site and new device! It is so cool! It's great seeing one of my students in the commercial.

If so, please take a look at this new communication tool and one of my pre-school students in the commercial. It is a really neat new tool used for communication!

Do you suppose it would work with an older person who has MS? Cost? Medicaid/Medicare, or is it still experimental? I would welcome more infor.

I'll have to echo karenfh, those videos are amazing. I watched all of them. How great for Isaac's mom to hear "I love you" and get eye contact from her son. Cool.

Thank you for sharing, and for the work you do (I don't know if you are a teacher, a special needs tutor, etc).

I am an educational assistant who works with autistic pre-schoolers at a nearby school. I really don't know anything more about the Tango. You may wish to look further into their site and send them a message about your questions. All I know is that this is a new communicating device that has been out for about 2 years now and Isaac was choosen to appear in their commercials. Isaac was one of my students but has moved on to kindergarten now. It's great to see him again and being able to communicate with his family.
