Meet Larry and Tracy

The first time I was introduced to Tracy and Larry was in my Disabilities class this summer. We had the opportunity to watch the full movie and it was amazing. Larry and Tracy are two men with autism who travel the world with thier assistants to spread awareness for autism. They speak at conferences with the aid of their computers and assistants and bring hope to many families who have children with autism. their main objective is to let people know that they are people first adn that they have much to offer.

Both Larry and Tracy have very limited speech and can communicate some basic needs verbally but when they speak at conferences and to groups they use laptop computers. They type thier own message and their assistants read it to the public.

On thier journey in the movie we also meet others who are able to fully communicate using assistive technology. We see how they have so much to share but are just not able to speak it. If you have the opportunity to watch this movie please do, it is inspiring!!
