"Space was all I had imagined it to be; I felt at one with the universe. All obstacles had dis- appeared. I could shout and clap freely without anybody staring at me," author Beppe Caruana wrote in his book titled Il-Maw- ra Tiegħi fl-Ispazju (My Holiday in Space). Caruana is a highly intelligent boy, but it took a while before his parents found the right commu- nication methods to unlock his potential and step into his world. With training in the Rapid Prompting Method and com- municative devices donated by the Malta Trust Foundation's E3 project, Caruana's mother dis- covered that her son's reading was more advanced, that he had a grasp of the Maltese language and was a very quick learner. "I want to show everyone I'm not stupid," Caruana told his mother Olivia Galea Seychell, when she asked him if he was certain about being present at the virtual launch of his book. His next storybook is about his escape to the sea, another one of nature's assets, which unshack- les Beppe from the weight and misunderstandings of everyday life. Illustrated by Nasrim Dar- douri, the book will go on sale this week and will be distributed to Year 5 students by the Na- tional Literacy Agency, which supported the publication of this book. "Beppe's book is a clear exam- ple of the immense capabilities of these children and helps to break the stigma surrounding disability. I thank all the part- ners and entities who have come together to support our E3 pro- ject," Malta Trust Foundation president Marie-Louise Coleiro said. The E3 project aims to empow- er, encourage and educate young children with different abilities. It is run collaboration with the National Literacy Agency, the Foundation for Inclusive Tech- nology and Accessibility, Agen- zija Sapport, the Department of Speech and Language Pa- thologists, the Association for Speech-Language Pathologists Malta, and the Autism Parents Association-Malta. Towards the end of last year, 30 children, including Carua- na who are non-verbal and on the autism spectrum benefitted from individual electronic devic- es to support their learning, after the Malta Trust Foundation's E3 project raised €84,283. The augmentative communi- cation devices were procured and individually tailor-made for the children identified by the Education Department, togeth- er with Agenzija Sapport's unit, ACTU, which provides them with personalised training.
