Communication using Avaz - Training kids with Autism

Uploaded by Smrithy Rajesh, on Youtube in Feb 2017:

"Before 4 Years in an open house at Bubbles centre for Autism, our Principal Sarbani Mukherjee Mallick Ma'am was telling us to spend one day with friends and family by closing our mouth with a plaster. Our friends and partners talking about us and preparing everything for us, but we are not able to express our likes and dislikes in that. At that day through this example she was explaining about the communication difficulties of kids with Autism. I was really touched with that and was trying my best to teach my son how to communicate. I started with PECS, step by step and then last year I attended a workshop with Dr. Preeja Balan at our school Bubbles centre for Autism about Avaz. Then I customised Avaz for Advaith and moved to Avaz. Now he is communicating independently with Avaz. I Believe My post will help lots of parents. I believe that this is the best thing I did for my Son. I am sharing a video of Advaith, you all can see how he is using Avaz in different situation."
