As we celebrate 40 years of leadership through TASH, new leaders are emerging in our youth. Benjamin McGann is a young man with autism who does not speak. However, his words communicate his loud and clear message about human rights, communication and education. Ben writes, ?My goal for myself going forward is to be an advocate for nonspeaking people everywhere. I want to be a leader in the new civil rights movement. The rights for people with autism to have the same access to education as normal people! I have a revolution to lead!?.OBJECTIVES: 1. Discuss the rights of people who do not speak. 2. Describe ways to include students who do not speak in general education. 3. Discuss leadership opportunities for youth with special needs. 4. Develop improved understanding of the abilities of students who do not speak but desire to learn.
