ADVANCE FOR MONDAY MAY 18 AND THEREAFTER - In a May 11, 2015 photo, Travis Pilcher, 20, who is severely autistic, holds his iPad at home in Fort Worth, Texas. Pilcher, 20, didn’t talk for most of his life. He was a mystery to his teachers, who couldn’t find a way to help him. Three years ago, Travis was chosen to be the guinea pig in a Fort Worth school district effort to equip nonverbal special education students with iPads. Within months, he was swiping symbols on the screen that converted text to speech. He would mimic the sounds he heard from the iPad to talk to his parents.
