A disabled man from Libertyville who can only communicate by moving his eyes is using art to express himself better than ever before.
21-year-old Armando "Mandi" Saltiel began taking art therapy and his parents say it's transformed him. They say the sessions have made him a more confident communicator and have given him something to be passionate about.
In fact, it's even given him hope for a future in the professional world. He now has a goal of becoming an artist and having his own exhibit. Here's what his mom, Lori, told the Chicago Tribune about her son becoming an artist:
"Everyone wants a purpose. He's expressing himself. He's telling us something he has within him that he can't verbalize."
