Finding Mike - Boy with autism wins 4th place at state science fair

Communication makes all the difference.

Finding Mike – Boy with Autism Wins 4th Place at State Science Fair


 “Finding Mike is a KEYE TV Austin news feature about a boy with autism who has limited verbal communication (can only request NEEDS verbally) but has learned to communicate all his thoughts. Only a year previously he had been sorting silverware at school in Louisiana, but thanks to his school in Texas, he has been included in academics and won 4th prize at the State of Texas Science Fair for his project regarding Solutes and the Boiling Point of Water.

Mike is able to point out his words on a letterboard, WHILE saying each letter as he points. His life has changed dramatically and he is now a role model for all those who have non-verbal or limited communication autism.”
