"MANATEES AND ME ARE SIMILAR IN HOW WE INTERACT WITH OUR FRIENDS. MAKING PLAYFUL CONTACT WITH THOSE WE LOVE IS OUR GENTLE SECRET. HAVING SUCH LARGE HEARTS MAY EXPLAIN OUR NEED FOR SUCH BIG BODIES."

About us
LoveJohnPaul is an organization designed to educate and assist parents, teachers, communication-regulation partners, and caregivers about non-speaking, minimal speaking and unreliable speaking autistics.
Autistics labeled severe, or ASD3, like my son, John Paul, have been misunderstood, often mistreated and underserved for far too long.
We are dedicated to empowering Autistic individuals to communicate meaningfully with access to spelling-based communication resources, and creating community through awareness, outreach, education, and support.
Our Principles
Presume Competence
Children with non-speaking, minimal speaking and unreliable speaking autism are underestimated.
They are in there.
Its never to late to start
Learning how to spell with a letterboard has no age limit, You didn't miss a window.
Respect the Process
First learn a spelling method then stay true to the process for positive results.
Enjoy the Journey
Engage the Community
Just Love
The road to meaningful communication is a journey, not a race.
The people who understand best are within our own community. Seek community ior help build it.
The strongest tool we have is love.
