Archer Calder spent his childhood unable to talk with his younger sister, Della, who has a rare genetic condition that affects her ability to speak. So Archer began using his coding abilities to develop a web-based application to help her communicate.
Cypress, Texas Archer Calder spent his childhood unable to talk with his younger sister, Della, his only sibling.
Della has Bainbridge-Ropers syndrome, a rare genetic condition which affects her ability to eat, move and speak."I've never grown up with a neurotypical sibling, so that comparison is hard for me to make," Archer, 17, told CNN."But I'll say that she's definitely very opinionated. If things don't quite go her way, she lets you know that."Della, 14, grew up using a combination of hand signals and short sounds to communicate with her family and caregivers.
