Mom Gets Keyboard Tattooed on Arm to Help Her Non-Verbal Autistic Son Communicate
Jessica Fletcher’s tattoo adds Yes and No buttons, emotion symbols and an I love you message after her son’s AAC device failed.
- Canadian mother Jessica Fletcher tattooed a computer keyboard on her forearm to provide a permanent communication method for her 11-year-old son, Hunter, who is nonverbal.
- After Hunter lost access to his Augmentative and Alternative Communication device when its battery died at a restaurant, Fletcher realized he needed a backup that did not rely on technology.
- The tattoo features a complete keyboard, symbols for emotions, and buttons for "Yes" and "No," positioning Hunter to reach letters while Fletcher observes his selections.
- A video of Hunter using the tattoo gained more than one million views online, with Fletcher stating, "we remove communication barriers, we're giving non-speakers the chance to show us who they really are."
- Other parents have adopted similar tattoos while a clothing company developed keyboard-printed sleeves; students at Hunter's school requested shirts with the design to whisper and share secrets.
