As a former SLP, I used to work with many of them. But most of them were toddlers who were just diagnosed.
I did have a homeschooled HS student who was mostly non verbal. He could read though. He loved computers so I made a video of him reading off emergency language in case he needed to give his name and address.
Eventually after watching himself over and over again, he was able to retain the information to repeat it back when asked. He loved watching himself on video so it was a win win.
His parents were thrilled. Their biggest worry is he would get out and not be able to tell someone who he was or where he lived.
