Story
My aim is to raise enough funds for a communication aid for or son Ben
Ben is 12years old and has no speach,
He was diagnosed with global development delay at 6months old over time it changed to severe learning difficulties
5years ago at age just 6 ben had a stroke in the summer while playing leaving him suffering from regular siezures he then was diagnosed with cyclical vomiting syndrome which for him is the hardest to deal with as he cannot tell us of his pain or symptoms,it comes every 6weeks recently lasting 27hrs that's around 2000 times vomiting which last year resulted in internal bleeding 😔 he just screams and crys
But despite everything he's a very social boy who loves happiness
HE has alot of therapy to bring on speach but unfortunately it's made no difference,we've tried pecs and makaton signing but is just still misunderstood
ARE hope now is to try a communication app & ipad
the ability for him to say "I would like " or "I'm feeling" can we go would make a massive difference to not just his confidence but the ability of allowing him to actually talk to someone being understood would change his life, unfortunately it's not some thing we can give him due to family circumstances
