What a difference an iPad makes!

By Dr. Brett Parra | Autism Pensacola Board member

Wishing you a joyous Holiday Season!

Dear Friend,

As a board member of Autism Pensacola, I wanted you to know the iPad is invaluable for families living with autism. The iPad is so much more than a communication tool. For my son Matthew, it is like a security blanket and a true Godsend. He handles new and challenging situations like a pro with the iPad and for that we are so grateful. We also use it to facilitate therapy and homework.

We are fortunate that we have been able to purchase iPads for Matthew as he needed them, but many families don't have that luxury. Your gifts to 'Global Giving-Give Kids a Voice' offer families a chance to improve communication with their loved one and open new avenues of communication and learning. Matthew's iPad has been a conduit for us to more easily enter his world and for him to better cope in ours. Please consider a gift and helping change the lives of a family living with autism.

Thank you so much for your support of Give Kids a Voice! We wish you and all you love a wonderful holiday season!

Thank you,

Brett Parra MD
"Matthew's Dad"
