Russ Ewell always felt that his autistic son Jordan had a rich inner life that he could not express to others. Jordan
would occasionally speak words like “apple,” or for short phrases use an assistive device that produced a
synthesized voice. Then Jordan started
using an HP TouchSmart PC — and everything changed. With its advanced touchscreen technology and built-in microphone, the device opened a world of
communication possibilities for Jordan. For the first time, Ewell heard his son speak phrases in his own voice. And now Jordan can participate in group
activities and feel like he belongs.
