Mother Tattoos Keyboard on Arm to Aid Nonverbal Autistic Son's Communication
Jessica Fletcher, a Canadian mother, tattooed a keyboard on her arm to help her 11-year-old nonverbal autistic son, Hunter, communicate when his Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) device runs out of battery. After Hunter improvised by drawing a keyboard on a napkin during a meal, Jessica sought a permanent backup method. The tattoo includes letters and symbols, enabling Hunter to spell words by pointing to them. This innovation has inspired others and led to clothing designs featuring the keyboard to assist autistic children.
