Reporting Live With Asperger's From Elementary School

Clip: 8/23/2012 | 3m 59s

In Broomall, Pa., student journalists overcome obstacles of Asperger's through a newscast.

News has an agenda in Worrall Elementary School, where reporters with Asperger's syndrome are routinely pulled from their classrooms to learn the basics of journalism. Their teachers say producing a newscast is one of the best ways for their students to learn how to speak clearly, work together, build confidence ... and become school celebrities all at the same time.
