CHILDREN9S SERVICES
Andrew Manis
Andrew came to Signal Centers with very limited
communication. Our teachers and volunteer,
Molly Littleton, taught him to use an assistive
communication device called Language
Acquisition through Motor Planning (LAMP).
Our team then partnered with the Civitan Club
to purchase a device for Andrew so that he
could have one of his own to use both at home
and at school.
Now, Andrew is using his device to
communicate throughout the day and can
express his needs, wants, thoughts and
feelings. We know that for Andrew, being
able to clearly communicate will make all the
difference once he enters Kindergarten this fall.
