This is Luke

Luke wants to raise awareness about non-speaking autistics and the challenges they face due to struggles with a brain-to-body disconnect (apraxia). His mission is to help non-speaking autistics express their thoughts, opinions, and dreams using the spelling on a letterboard as a communication method. Luke is dedicated to creating a change in the diagnosing system to ensure that other children like Luke are recognized as struggling with apraxia, and deserve the letterboard method to communicate; and are not misdiagnosed.

Follow our blog where Luke’s journey is being documented by his mom, with help from Luke and others. Join us in our mission to raise awareness and give a voice to non-speakers.

University

Luke's first attempt at an essay for Thompson River's University English 1001 class on Literature and Composition.

April

I don't know what to call April. What I do know is you should be listening to and amplifying autistic voices.

Travel Test

We left the boys at home for 10 days, as a "travel test". It did not go well for Luke... six weeks later he is still recovering.
