This is Luke
“I DIDN’T KNOW THE WAY OUT.”
Meet Luke
Luke is a non-speaker, diagnosed at age 3.5 with Mild-to-Moderate Autism with a Global Developmental Delay (GDD). After years of therapies—speech, vision, oxygen, neuro, physio, occupational, hearing, cranio-sacral—Luke, at age 19, finally found his voice through a letterboard.
Luke believes that he was misdiagnosed “THEY WERE SO WRONG ABOUT ME”, and he wants “TO CHANGE THAT FOR KIDS LIKE ME”.
This website was created with Luke’s blessing “no decision about us, without us” and is intended to create awareness about spelling on a letterboard as a method of communication. There is an urgent need for qualified practitioners who can learn how to help non-speaking autistics find their voice.
Throughout this website you will see words/sections in capital letters.
These are Luke's actual words, spelled one letter at a time on a letterboard.
