Keith’s Tablet

Keith’s dream came true when the Sunshine Foundation presented him with a new tablet. Keith has low-functioning autism and the tablet will be an important tool to help the 10-year-old communicate with his family. In addition, Keith received other items for his sensory room.

A word from the family

“Keith is really enjoying all of his sensory items. His favorite is his tablet. It is going to be great for him to be able to communicate with it. He is very happy. Thank you so much for blessing us!” – Carrie, Keith’s mom
