About Noah, from his site https://quirkthrives.com/our-team
Noah Seback
Nonspeaking Autistic, Lived Experience Expert, Self Advocate
Noah’s differences have been considered deficits his entire life. His humanity & potential have been questioned & underestimated. His qUirk was an obstacle to thriving. No more. Through spelling on a letterboard with a communication regulation partner, he has gained a voice. He is now able to speak into his own life & wellbeing.
He has collaborated with others to strategize & authentically address his greatest challenges: extreme body dysregulation & the traumatizing label of ‘behavior problem’, ingrained motor loops, severe inflexibility, debilitating movement motor/sensory/emotional differences.
His passion is that all nonspeakers move from just surviving to thriving. Using his lived experience he seeks to partner with nonspeakers & their allies to that end. qUirk can thrive.
