Aidan doesn't talk with words. He uses a tablet, tapping buttons with pictures to show what he means. When Mama taps "Park . . . now?" Aidan quickly taps back "Yes." And after Aidan twirls and twirls in the grass until he can no longer stand, he taps, "All done." Not everyone understands their family's unique way of communicating, though. Some think that because Aidan doesn’t say words, he doesn’t know words. But verbal speech isn’t the only way we can connect with others.
