Preparing for Life After High School


McKenzie Tavary is on a mission to prove to the world that people with disabilities are smart.
Although she doesn't speak, "Mokn," which she calls herself, communicates by typing on a computer and once wrote, "God put me on this Earth to be an Angel to show people how smart I am and other people with disabilities."
The world may soon find out.
Tavary, 19, has been working for the past year since graduating from Capital High School to learn life skills. This fall she is set to start college at University of Montana–Helena, where she’ll be the first nonverbal student with autism to attend the two-year school.
