Facente Family

S2E7 · 2005-11-04 · 60 min

Deirdre and Trae Facente don't know how to integrate their autistic son, Tristin, into their daily life with their twins, Kayla and Marlana (4). Tristin is completely non-verbal, caught up in his own world of spinning, jumping, swinging and, often, taking off his clothes. The parents are at a loss as to how to help Tristin come out of his zone and join the family. Supernanny teams with world-renowned autism expert Dr. Lynn Koegel to teach all the Facentes inclusion and communication techniques to help engage Tristin.
