Video: 10 year old autistic girl sings ‘Hallelujah’

hallelujah

There’s always one moment that makes us sit back and appreciate the beauty of life itself. 10-year-old Kaylee Rodgers singing a version of Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah is one of those moments. Kaylee has autism and ADHD and attends Killard House Special School in Northern Ireland.

Kaylee’s headteacher told UTV that the video shows how far Kaylee has come since she came to the school in Primary Four (aged between 7 and 8).

“For a child who came in P4 and wouldn’t really talk, wouldn’t really read out in class, to stand and perform in front of an audience is amazing. It takes a lot of effort on Kaylee’s part”” Colin Millar, principal of Killard House, told UTV.

The video has now gone viral around the world and we’re not surprised.

It was recorded as part of the school’s Christmas show and only made it online because Kaylee was too ill to perform live as the lead singer at a church carol service.
