When I think of children, many words come to mind. Inquisitive. Energetic. Adorable. Silly. Opinionated. Determined. Vulnerable.
When reading about Carly Fleischmann and her incredible journey to finding a voice despite severe autism, all of these words come to mind, with another word...amazing.
Carly's story is incredibly heartwarming and uplifting. It teaches understanding and patience, and show just how determined a child can be. I hope that you all will enjoy it as much as I did.

While I believe that children learn through play, and find play incredibly important and beneficial to children, I also believe in the benefits of technology. Technology is such a valuable teaching tool and Carly's story is an amazing example of this.
