Time For Talk

Happy Speech Delay Awareness Month! May is such a important month for raising awareness and breaking the stigma surrounding speech delay. I had the pleasure of interview Samantha Ms Royal North West who will be competing in the Royal UK finals in September. Her platform is raising awareness about autism and supporting the charity Space4Autism. She talked about her son Noah and the diagnosis journey they have been on and she also offered some amazing advice to parents who are in a similar situation.

In the latest episode of Time for Talk I had the opportunity to sit down and interview Linda Lascelles the CEO of the charity AFASIC.

May is better speech & hearing month and in this week’s episode I wanted to explain in detail why this awareness month is so important! I even did a little research into who created the awareness month and found out some shocking historical facts about people who struggled with communicating. Happy better speech and hearing month everyone!!!!!

I had an amazing discussion with Amy the current Miss Teen Pageant Girl Southampton about what it is like to be a sibling to someone who had speech delay and had autism. Being a sibling myself to someone who has severe speech delay it was amazing to talk to someone who understands what it is like and how difficult it may be sometimes. Thank you Amy for sharing your story and your brother’s!

In this episode I was joined with my special guest Kirsty who is a finalist for UK’s National Miss and will be competing in July. She is also a mother and her daughter Summer is currently undergoing tests for autism. We talked all about the process of testing for autism and the signs Summer was showing which raised concern. It is autism awareness month this April so please share this episode with family & friends to spread the word!
