Jeremy Swartz, a musician with autism from South Hadley, Massachusetts, was a contestant on
Wheel of Fortune last Thursday. After a strong start, he didn't make it to the bonus round, but he told host Pat Sajak being on
Wheel was a dream come true. Swartz, age 26, is a singer and tambourine/shaker player for the Berkshire Hills Music Academy performance troupe, a band of young adults with disabilities. As part of a disability awareness program, troupe members talk to audiences about their intellectual handicaps. Swartz can also tap dance and has acted in local plays. To learn more about him, go to
