Here, an attendant is giving my brother a helping hand when he was in his group home day program. I don’t recall what he needed help pointing at. Mike was low functioning in addition to being autistic and nonverbal. The staff once showed me a board that had all the letters in the alphabet. The theory was that some nonverbal people just needed physical help to point to letters that would make words to reveal what they wanted to say. I’m certain that this might be the case for some people, but for Mike, an ouija board would have bee a better choice. I am glad they were paying him attention, though.
