Dan Harris, who is from Peterborough, gave a speech on autism acceptance at an Unesco event on inclusive schooling in Paris this week. He urged for technology to be made more accessible to people who are non-speaking. The idea was inspired when his 10-year-old son began to point to pictures on an electronic tablet to communicate. Mr Harris called it the “biggest” moment of his life and advocated for the rights of all children to a full and productive education.
