It’s great to see new programs being developed. With all the advances in technology, it’s important to use all the resourses we can to help everyone, especially those with disabilities, succeed.

I think this is a fantastic idea for children with autism who live in rural areas. We tend to take our access to specialized care for granted when we live in a bigger city. Once the research phase is complete, I wonder how affordable such a service would be for a family. Having daily and immediate access to a specialist would appear to be quite expensive. Hopefully they can find an affordable way to help our these families in need. Nevertheless, I think this program will have great success as it helps to teach the child in the comfort and familiarity of their own home.
