Autism, Technology, & My Brother Mark
CE Pro magazine features an article about my brother Mark, my nephew Brody, and technology distributed by my family's company that's helping children with autism. Here's the lead in:
Brody Buzzard is a playful 2-year-old with a mild case of autism. So it's no surprise that his father Mark, principal of Liberty Bell Alarm & Home Theater in Sacramento, Calif., has taken an interest in home health technology.As a Control4 dealer, Mark Buzzard has rigged an automation system specifically for the needs of Brody and his care takers - mom and dad."Autistic children are very visual," says Buzzard. "Using a visual communication strategy really helps them understand what is happening next and what to expect. It relieves a lot of stress and creates stability for them."
