    Apple video clip shows how technology has helped Autism

    By Staff Writer on April 2, 2016 News

    April 2, 2016 is World Autism Awareness Day.

    Every year, autism organizations around the world celebrate the day with unique fundraising and awareness-raising events. GTBank in Nigeria is marking the day with a walk and cycling campaign.

    To commemorate the Autism awareness campaign, Apple produced a short film – Dillan’s Voice -showing how technology has helped Dillan, an autistic teen. The film tells Dillan’s story through his own words, typed out on an iPad then spoken out loud via an augmented and alternative communication (AAC) app.

    Dillan has been using an iPad as a communication tool for about three years. His use of the technology actually went viral in 2014, after he used his tablet and an AAC app to deliver a moving middle school graduation speech.

    According to Dillan, “So many people can’t understand that I have a mind. All they see is a person who is not in control. But now you can hear me.  The iPad helps me to see not only my words but to hold onto my thoughts. Having a voice has changed everything in my life. No more isolation.”

    Here is the film below:
