Here the Beckies, talk honestly about communication difficulties.
Apraxia - What is this and why do we need to understand what this is?
This is where you think of what you want to say however the message gets broken down on the way to saying this... This is a processing disorder.
Becky talks about her practice and the children she has helped to be heard.
This emotional and thought provoking line from Dana's book says it all really...
'Remember not being able to speak is not the same as having nothing to say'
We think parents and professionals can really benefit from listening to this podcast, find out what we can all do to help children who aren't listened to or heard?  What behaviours might we see?
If you head to our website www.thrivinglanguage.co.uk you can read Dana's blog and see links to hers and her sons empowering and moving story  - The simplicity of one Mums story 'Beyond Words' by Dana Hall - Amazon books - One amazingly simple resource that will have everyone thinking and being more tuned in. - Thriving Language love it!
It can be hard to feel included when the words get lost on the way to your mouth, you try to say what is in your head but it comes out all jumbled up!
