We teach autistic people how to communicate

rpm non speaking speaking comunication method for autism education pointing

"RPM has given me a voice. You should give it a try."

Chris Finnes

Chris inspired the creation of Unlocking Voices. He had autism and was non-speaking, he had been taught to communicate by pointing to a letterboard which enabled him to spell out his thoughts by pointing; letter by letter.

“RPM has been probably the best thing I have learnt to do. It has shown the world that autism is not a lack of intellect.”

Chris Finnes – aged 17 – September 2016

Chris inspired us to set up Unlocking Voices to help other Autistic people

Unlocking Voices Mission

To empower parents to learn how they can help their non-speaking or minimally speaking autistic children to:

  • Unlock their previously hidden ‘voices’ and demonstrate their intelligence
  • Develop thinking and reasoning skills and communicate thoughts and opinions
  • Develop skills for independent living, hobbies, interests and leisure activities

“This memory is so precious! When your non-verbal severely autistic child is able to spell to demonstrate their intelligence and understanding face to face with an educational psychologist . This is why I set up Unlocking Voices”

“Sam is able to express what he does and doesn’t like and takes control of many aspects of life that previously were out of reach. He tells us the activities that he enjoys the most and why.”
Amanda, Mum to Sam
“What RPM has done has enabled others to see Matt's abilities and competencies so that he is now accessing a very appropriate curriculum for him. He loves learning and is particularly interested in history and languages.”
Jane, Mum to Matt
“The discovery of RPM has led him to having a life with purpose and a future which is whatever he wishes for it to be. He no longer needs anyone to assume his needs as he is now able to state the for himself.”
Geraldine, Mum to Charles
“RPM has changed Ron’s life and has allowed him to make his dreams become a reality. At present Ron is working on pointing independently by holding a letterboard himself and also putting it on a flat surface.”
Aru, Mum to Ron
“To anyone reading this and wondering whether to start, in my opinion it is never to soon to start. It may be a long haul flight like ours, But, be assured, with hard work on both parts of student and parent, you will eventually arrive!”
Mum to Tommy
