Her World, Her Words

But Schuyler also does a lot of free writing, creating text files on her iPad both for homework assignments and just her thoughts as they come to her. And it's here where the results of her increased freedom of expression and communication suddenly become clear.
It's not perfect; her grammar is touch and go at best, but even then, when she fumbles the language, she doesn't mangle it so much as twist it into something different. Her language can be broken, but also beautiful and free. A little like Schuyler, come to think of it.

"You want to turn into a human like your friend."
I know it isn't an advantage for Schuyler to use AAC devices, but I don't know another 8th grader who could express that or be introspective enough to even recognize it inside.
Schuyler's writing is really something special. I think she has a real gift for seeing things.
I don't know her except through your writing but I've always found her to be a remarkable girl. Getting to know her through her own writing just solidifies that feeling. Her writing is just beautiful.
