Which schools are best for Speech and Language
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.
Over time we started to become aware of each separate problem. And we realized that we needed to understand and treat all issues preventing speech and language. Much like joining links in a chain.
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 number of posts about schooling and our schooling experiences that we encountered in our search for a solution. We have compiled these posts to help other parents understand the schooling options for children who are not speaking.
We hope this will be of help, contact us about your child anytime.
Enda, Val, Conor and Eoin.
Enda and Val have experience in selecting the correct schools and education setting for you 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!
