Luke and Holly Priddis established the Luke Priddis Foundation following the diagnosis of their third child Cooper as having Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Following Cooper’s diagnosis they became caught in a whirlwind of meetings, assessments, occupational therapy, speech therapy and early intervention.
Through searching for approriate intervention programs, it was found that there was a lack of services in the Western Sydney area. Further to this, the services that were accessible struggled with a lack of funding, along with a lack of provisions suitable to provide appropriate intervention for children with ASD and other special needs.
The aim of the Luke Priddis Foundation is to maximise the services and opportunities available to Autistic and special needs children.
