Dominick, 12 years old

Wish submitted by:

Dominick is an energetic, fun-loving, caring boy. Dominick is autistic and has difficulty communicating his feelings, thoughts, and emotions. He loves to watch videos of people getting their hair cut. He enjoys dressing up as an Astronaut pretending to go to space. Dominick is autistic and non-verbal. He resides in a residential facility and has minimal contact with his parents.

The parents have expressed their desire to give their son Dominick a tablet for Christmas; however they have very limited funds and cannot afford one at this time. The mother has a life threatening illness and is unable to work or care for her children without the assistance of her husband; therefore he had to adjust his work schedule around the families' needs and can only work part-time. Dominick would benefit greatly from a Nabi Tablet both recreationally and educationally and would assist the parents in occupying Dominick for short periods of time while cooking dinner or other daily life routines that need to get done. Dominick is a sweet child but does not have the ability to fully communicate. Dominick's favorite words are balloon and bubbles. It is believed that that Nabi Tablet would also help Dominick with learning words and communicating with others.
