    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
    Proloquo2Go is an award-winning symbol-supported communication app. It provides a voice to over 150,000 individuals who cannot speak. The app is designed to promote language development and grow communication skills. Its innovative features support users, parents, teachers and therapists to quickly personalize the vocabulary and settings.
    Users can open Proloquo2Go and begin to use it for effective communication immediately” – Susan Berkowitz, MS-SLP, AAC Consultant.
    Proloquo2Go is used by people with autism, down syndrome, cerebral palsy and other diagnoses. It is available in English, Spanish and French, including regional and bilingual support.

    All funds will go towards an ipad that supports the app and the app it's self which alone is several hundreds
