The Crowder family will experience their very own Christmas miracle in a few short weeks, thanks to a since-departed techno- logical visionary. Mike and Brenda Crowder will be able to co mm unicate with their 29- y ear-old devel- op m entall y disabled son, R y an, over Christ- m as dinner, thanks to what is turning out to be the late Apple founder Steve Jobs’ great- est creations – the iPad. “I’ m full of hope again,” said Mike during an e m otional press conference at Open Hands on South Branch Road in Ea m ers Corners. “This is going to m ake the best Christ m as ever.” After 30 y ears, he had begun to lose hope of ever co mm unicating with his son, he told reporters as tears welled up in his e y es. But a breakthrough application that runs on Apple’s iPad has given hi m a renewed op- ti m is m . “We think the future looks ver y good for hi m . The possibilities of the world are going to open up to hi m ,” he said. Staff at Open Hands brought in a client na m ed Annie to de m onstrate just how eas- il y she has been able to adapt to the new technolog y to i m prove her co mm unication with staff. Reporters were able to see her ask for a cup of tea and then place a request for a doughnut si m pl y using the iPad. Open Hands has just begun introducing the iPads in a bid to i m prove co mm unica- tion with the develop m entall y disabled children and adults ranging in age fro m five to 77, said Cher y l Lapointe, director of sup- port and services. The y are m aking the push to adopt the iPads as co mm unication tools after a staff surve y indicated their clients are m isunder- stood in disheartening 85 per cent of their interactions.

Even though the iconic Apple product has dropped in price, it is still out of reach for clients whose onl y inco m e is a paltr y $120 provincial disabilit y pa ym ent. “We’re asking Santa Claus for lots of iPads,” Lapointe s m iled. R y an had spent his whole life unable to co mm unicate even his m ost si m ple wants or needs, turning hi m into in an angr y and frustrated child inside the bod y of a m an. “Can y ou i m agine if that happened to y ou ever y da y of the y ear, ever y m o m ent of y our life at ho m e? I just can’t describe the frustra- tion that goes through hi m ,” Crowder said. But m uch to his surprise, his son i mm edi- atel y took an interest in the iPad. “He was actuall y tr y ing to co mm unicate with us after a one- m inute de m onstration. It was a prett y eas y sell after that,” Crowder laughed. “I was shown that da y there was hope for my son to be able to co mm unicate. I’ m on board. I’ m reall y on board with this pro- gra m .” Mike Crowder, the father of a develop- mentally disabled son, speaks during a press conference Thursday at Open Hands in Cornwall.
