Little 'Locked In' Lad Finds Voice After Learns To Speak With Eyes

  • 5 years ago
A 'locked in' boy who was written off as unteachable has been taught to 'speak' by his mother by using his EYES - and is now a blogger and author. Jonathan Bryan, ten, was born with severe cerebral palsy after his mum Chantal, 39, was in a car crash while pregnant, leaving him unable to walk and speak. His family were told he had 'profound and multiple learning disabilities' and teachers did not teach him to read and write. But his determined mother refused to give up and taught him how to use his eyes to pick pre-chosen words. One day he had a "breakthrough" and amazingly began spelling out whole words.
