Introduction to Michael’s story

Michael has been coming to the SARAW Program for almost 2 years. Without the Program Michael couldn’t have written his story. He has CP and is non verbal. He can answer yes or no questions. Coming to the SARAW Program lets Michael communicate and express himself.

On the Writing Program there is a Word Predict list, this is very beneficial to Michael as it helps him recognize words and it’s easier to enter a number than having to type the whole word as it can be difficult for him due to his disability.

It has taken over a year for him to write about himself as we only attend 2 hours a week, but time is nothing -it’s what you can achieve. Michael is more confident within himself and his family are very proud of him.
