New show "Speechless"

I just watched the pilot episode of a new comedy on ABC, "Speechless", and it was delightful. It's about a family with three kids, arriving in a new school, and figuring out how to fit in and make things work. The hook is that one of the two sons has cerebral palsy, and uses an AAC device without speech-generating capacity. At the new school, the school district has agreed to pay for a full-time (even outside of school) aid to read out what he is saying.

The producers of the show have very clearly listened long and carefully to a LOT of disabled people -- there are many jokes that could easily have come from "Shit people say to disabled people" videos.

It's very good, and you can watch it (with commericals) on http://abc.go.com/shows/speechless . Please do so -- the more who do, the more likely they are to pay for more episodes.
