A Halloween Skeleton has changed the life of a family with a special needs daughter. Amelie Talauta was diagnosed with global development delay when she was four years old and her communication skills were minimal. Six years ago her parents bought a skeleton Halloween decoration and Amelie immediately befriended him. Now "Hugo Sebastian Wellington III" and Amelie travel everywhere together - Hugo even has his own wardrobe. Hugo's presence has helped Amelie become more comfortable in social situations and her communication skills have improved. You can learn more about their adventures by following Hugo's Instagram.
