Feature Member - Mia - 11 April 2012



Introducing Mia, our new Feature Member!! Mia is 2 yrs old and has been diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD).

Mia's sensory issues are major and she has great difficulty communicating and relies a lot on pictures ( and screaming). She has been attending Early Intervention for 12 months already and attends Speech Therapy, Occupational Therapy and will start physiotherapy soon.

Her mum, Nicole is raising funds to buy her an iPad with 32gb, wifi & 3G. By having an iPad, she will be able to learn things visually, and use an AAC to communicate.

She has made her mother very proud recently when she learnt to say "Ma" :)

Below is the link to her MyCause fundraising page. PLEASE help give this adorable girl a voice :) EVERY dollar contributed is greatly appreciated - and if you can't contribute, please share this post.
