A Text to Speech Reader Pen for Shawn to help him with reading

Posted Apr 3, 2023
Shawn wishes for a text-to-speech reader pen to help him with reading. He has several disabilities due to the trauma he received before entering foster care and has been working hard to find what works for him. This will help him with school work, reading for pleasure at home, or anything he needs to read wherever he goes. This assistive technology device will make life so much easier for Shawn.

Shawn is 18 years old and lives in NC

Shawn is a wonderful young man who struggles with the lasting effects of abuse and neglect. He has many special needs and requires a high level of care and attention. He likes being part of the family and likes working on fixing things. Shawn likes to eat Chick-fil-A and listen to music. Shawn loves helping people and wants to be a teacher someday.

"Dear Tony & Danielle, Shawn has received his text- to- speech reader. He can’t wait to take it to school and get his tutor to help him with it. He is really looking forward to using this and feels he will be able to understand more and become more independent. Thank you so much for caring. "
