I was at Easter Seals Respite Camp this past weekend and I specifically noticed one camper who was non-verbal and had Autism. His way of communication with his parents and other people is a laminated paper keyboard so he can communicate. So all you do is hold out the keyboard and he will take his finger and type in the letters that spells what he wants to say.
I thought this was very innovative because it gave him an outlet to express what he's thinking instead of trying to point or write it down on paper. It was quick and easy for him to type it in, and for the coulselor or one of his parents to find out what he was trying to say. Its a great, quick, cheap, innovative technique!
