Description
"...words will always retain their power. Words offer the means to meaning, and for those who will listen, the enunciation of truth." - V, 2005
The power of communication is essential; some say a necessity. We all do it, humans, insects, birds, cats, dogs, etc. No matter which species we belong to, we all communicate. Unfortunately, some people struggle to do so. Damian was one of them.
Developmental Language Disorder, a speech and language disability, which Damian has had from birth, causes sentences to come out muddled and slow, even though all Damian's ideas are there. Here Damian talks about how DLD has affected his life, and how the charity Afasic has been there to support him throughout.
Find the struggles that Damian had to go through in his life for him to speak.
Finding a Voice recounts the journey Damian has taken. From the early years, he was struggling to be diagnosed and have the disability recognized, to being heard as Vice President of Afasic.
Advance Praise
So good to have the story first-hand. Damian's writing gives a clear idea of what it is like to live with a language disorder and he is to be congratulated on having overcome and achieved so much. I cannot recommend this book highly enough, especially to anyone who has or knows someone with a language disorder.
