Before TERI, Chris only spoke yes/no answers. His parents didn’t even know he could read, but he loved listening to music, so the majority of his day was spent silently watching videos online. After coming to TERI, Chris has now learned to sing, play the keyboard, and even read and write his own music. Most importantly, he can now have conversations and develop relationships. Chris has spoken and performed in over 50 venues to help spread awareness about autism and developmental disabilities, even playing a sold out show with the TERI Band for over 2,000 people.
