Why Lynne Linked Up with Little Lukes as a Syracuse Speech-Language Pathologist

Moments like this go viral.

 

They flood Facebook feeds with feel-good energy.

Sitting in a chair is a nonverbal, little boy with Autism. He’s looking across the table at his speech pathologist as she runs through a variety of methods to communicate, aiming to identify the most effective way for the student to communicate his wants and needs. This could be through signing, verbal speech, picture symbols or a communication device.

 

After months of practicing and learning, the little boy who used signs and picture symbols to share his thoughts does something out of the norm.

 

He pointed to a picture representing the word “play”, used sign language to sign “play” and to everyone’s astonishment said “play” aloud, speaking for the very first time.

 

“I cried I was so overwhelmed,” said Lynne. “He used all three methods of communication that we had been targeting, so it was a giant win!”

 

These magical moments of harnessing the best in children’s language and communication potential are something Little Lukes Speech-Language Pathologist Lynne relishes in and for good reason. After working for Little Lukes Preschool for 15 months as a center-based therapist as well as itinerant work, Lynne found something worth keeping.  

 

“I stay because I love my Little Lukes work family. They make each day worth it when you get to be a part of a team that helps each child make progress towards their goals. I also love the students. Watching them grow and learn each day is really rewarding.”
