Never Take “I Love You” for Granted Again

May 5, 2022 By Pam Pulizzi

Jack works with his speech-language pathologist, Kristin

One of our missions here at the Orange Effect Foundation is to make sure every child can communicate. We often take it for granted.

I have had so many emails from grateful parents–writing about how their child can participate in every day activities like saying, “Trick Or Treat!” or “I’m hungry,” or they want to go outside.  Such simple things.

But no example has warmed my heart the way this video has. I can watch it over and over and over.

For a little background, this young man in this video is non verbal.  He is unable to talk using words. He does however, want to communicate so much. He received a grant from the Orange Effect Foundation for a device to help him communicate. 

The rest of the video speaks for itself.

Jack uses his Nova Chat 8 to communicate
