Freedom
Freedom is the ultimate objective for Project Blue
Skies. By equipping children with ASD we are opening
an opportunity for these children and their families
to exceed their prior limits and be elevated to a
freedom of exchange. This exchange will give way to
expression and expression will be the winged craft
that will allow these children to soar into the
communication world. As an example, a young adult
with autism said after using the orbiTouch®, “The
orbiTouch® is a communications tool. Since it can
enhance my communications, it can help other people
with autism to communicate."
"The Blue Skies initiative is part of an exciting
wave of new research aimed at developing practical,
life-improving skills in children on the autistic
spectrum TODAY. If they are successful, the people
at The Lift Disability Network and their channel
partners (teachers, parents, therapists,
specialists, etc.) will arm a whole generation
of children to communicate more effectively and help
them to make their contribution to society. Join
the Out of the Rain Society and help to fund this
great effort!"

“My husband and I believe the orbiTouch holds great
promise as a means of communication for certain
children on the autism spectrum. Because each of
these children learns so very differently and there
is no set therapy guideline, we as parents are
always looking to try anything that just might be
exactly what our child needs in order to
communicate.
The Blue Skies project is raising funds to get this
device into the hands of children with autism as
quickly as possible right here on a local level. We
can expect it will give some of these children a
voice for the very first time and to help others
communicate what is inside of them even more
clearly. While it won’t work for every child, no one
will know how it will help their child until they
try.”

“The orbiTouch Keyless Keyboard has given our family
the joy in watching a child that hated to write,
blossom into one who is writing and even making
small power point presentations.
Blue Skies is giving children on the autism
spectrum the ability to shine by allowing them to
use innovative technology to communicate with
others. For some children on the spectrum,
communication is often absent or limited. I feel
that the Blue Skies project is creating a bridge
between the child, who can not communicate, and
those that love and care for him the most. What an
incredible tool to provide to these families and
know that each child is crossing that bridge of
communication with their loved ones.”
