Help your child to Speak

We show parents what’s possible for all kids

Just because your child is not talking,
doesn’t mean they can’t speak!

Read about our emergence from Autism

Conor and Eoin were not speaking so they needed speech therapy, right? Well, not exactly. As time went on we discovered that the reasons our sons were not speaking had a myriad of causes. These conditions can exist alone, or in our case together.

We started to become aware of each separate problem, and we realized that we needed to understand and treat all the issues preventing speech and language. Much like joining links in a chain.

You can read more about our journey on our blog pages

Ultimately we discovered the boys were suffering from several issues which affected all of the primary language centers in the brain. This lead to a dismal future prognosis, of our boys not talking. Below are a series posts that we have written that speak about what made our journey possible and our children successful.

I hope this will be of help to you,
feel free to contact me about your child.

I have never met anyone who has re-conceptualized language learning in the way Enda and his team has.

This is something I have always thought could be possible, it is wonderful seeing this research come to life!

The Disney approach has been extraordinary particularly in the teaching of social and emotional language.
