Find people who really care, they are the ones who will help.

That's the stuff my wife does. Crazy cool to see some of the techniques they use and how well they can work. It takes caring and dedicated people that are willing to keep working different techniques till they find the right "keys" to each individual kid. It's amazing to see a kid that is just totally frustrated and out of control all of a sudden "get it" and find a way to communicate. Life changing stuff sometimes.
