Tapping Into Communication and Positive Activity
This episode follows the compelling caregiving story of Lori Rogers. Lori is a successful businesswoman with three adult children. Her second child was diagnosed with autism at the age of two and he was a non-speaker.
In 2011 her eldest child had a sports-related injury resulting in post-concussion symptoms which added a different aspect to Lori's already full caregiving life.

Then in 2022 there was yet another shift in her caregiving story - when through the book "Underestimated: An Autism Miracle" she was introduced to "Spelling to Communicate". As Craig was unable to speak to communicate this proved to be a game changer for them. Lori has a message to other parents of non-speaking children with autism - "they're listening!"
