LUCA HAS CEREBELLAR ATRPOHY, WHICH DELAYS HIS MILESTONES THOUGH HE'S EXPECTED EVENTUALLY TO WALK INDEPENDENTLY. AT THREE-AND-A-HALF, HE CAN EASILY UNDERSTAND AND FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS, AND HE QUICKLY REALISED THIS CAR WAS FOR HIM – AND RAPIDLY GOT SO USED TO STEERING THAT WE WERE ABLE TO REMOVE THE EXTRA STEERING HANDLES SO HE CAN USE THE STANDARD STEERING WHEEL
