This family is originally from Nigeria and now lives in the USA. Oluronke, Prince’s mom, founded an organization to help disabled children in Nigeria. She told me that there are less services and inclusive practices in Nigeria and she is trying to change that. You can check out and support her foundation at www.treasuredkidsfoundation.org/

Those devices cost over 8k. Closer to 9k actually. I wish they were easier to access because they certainly change lives. My son just got one last year.

It's crazy to think how people with that condition lived before the invention of that tablet device. Supposing they're unable to write or use hand language, their minds would be pretty much trapped inside their bodies. Because it's clear that his cognitive abilities are perfectly normal. He's a bright little boy, and it's SO GREAT that his mind is able to interact with the outside world at an intellectual level. Very inspiring.

In general too. While there is still a lot of work to do as society has been built to cater to able bodied neurotypical people accessibility has come a long way

Except for his muscular disability you can tell he's an intelligent child with normal thought processes. I bet he's actually very intelligent. As he ages and becomes proficient with the use of a computer and is old enough for independent internet access he'll probably be able to do whatever he wants that doesn't require physical muscle use. I can see him having a tech job in the future and living a semi independent life with a paid caregiver or a partner to do his caregiving because they love and value him. I'm not aware of the current life expectancy of someone with his disease/disability but do know that many diseases or syndromes have recently been having life expectancies extended with new drugs and treatments. I hope this is true for Prince.

I love seeing how far communication devices have come in the last 20 years. There were no iPad programs when my sister received her diagnosis. We carried cards around everywhere until she learned to say enough words to communicate. It was a big binder and it would take so long to find the words she needed that she would give up. Now kiddos get a convenient voice to carry and utilize. It’s amazing.

What a gift for him and everyone who loves him that he is able to communicate with this device! That's invaluable.
