Description
L.U.C.A.S. Network (Loving Unconditionally Children with Autism Support Network) was created in 2007 by Derrick and Sandrine Howle in honor of our son, Lucas, who has autism. We developed a network of parents to help Lorri Unumb, Marcella Ridley, and Lisa Rollins’ two year effort to get Ryan’s Law passed in SC. Through correspondence with many of these families during and after the successful passage of Ryan’s Law in June of 2007, we felt compelled to share our story and experiences with Lucas’ battle with autism with other families in hope of making a difference in the lives of families suffering from this disorder and of making these families battle a little easier.
Our Contact information via e-mail is luluhowle@charter.net. Please feel free to ask any questions concerning advocacy, treatment or details concerning autism in SC. We will make sure we find the answer to your question! Remember that you are not alone and there are others who know what you are going through!
Derrick is proud to also be the Family Services Liaison for Autism Speak in SC.
A very Special thanks goes out to Lorri Unumb, Marcella Ridley and Lisa Rollins! You three are our personal heroes and definitely our Angels!
Sandrine and I thank the Greenville Autism Family Connection group for their recognition during the June 2008 meeting of the LUCAS Network and we want you to know that we love all of you! You mean the world to us and make living in the world of autism much easier for the Howle Family!
Sandrine and I would like to thank The Family Connection of SC for their recognition of The LUCAS Network and the SC Angels of Autism during their Annual Gala in March 2008.
Sandrine and I would like to thank Advocacy and Protection of SC for the presentation of the Robert D. Spencer award to The LUCAS Network and the SC Angels of Autism at their annual Gala in March 2008.
