Josh's Story

I watched Josh's story right after class last Tuesday and got lost watching related videos.

Josh's story is amazing. He had such improvement over such a small amount of time. He not only improved in educational skills but he was apparently much more social after the help of the bookworm. His teacher had such patience and saw the impact this technology was having on her student. She learned how to incorporate it into the classroom and allowed him to read to other students. She drew the tool into the classroom. It was such an inspirational story.

While I was watching Josh's story I saw a link for a video on Savant Autism. I was completely enthralled and enjoyed the section where they talked with Kim Peek. At one point he said, "You don't have to be handicapped to be different because everybody's different." Such a profound and true statement.
