Our Infinitec program continues steady growth,<br />

despite school cutbacks. Thanks in part to a $367,000<br />

grant from Ronald McDonald House Charities, the<br />

program is expanding beyond Illinois and Kansas into<br />

Georgia and Minnesota. In the first <strong>year</strong> alone, <strong>we</strong> expect<br />

to serve 16,000 students age 5 to 18 in Georgia and<br />

another 9,500 in Minnesota. We look forward to opening<br />

new opportunities for students with specialized needs, like<br />

Jonathan and Andrew. Jonathan, a high school student<br />

with autism, uses a DynaVox V to communicate with his<br />

teachers, classmates and family. Andrew, finishing junior<br />

high, takes advantage <strong>of</strong> InfiniTEXT to read textbooks and<br />

Andrew<br />

the novels he’s assigned for English class.<br />
