    We wanted to give you all an update. The programme was intense. An hour was a long time for Grace to concentrate but the speech therapist caught on quickly to Graces need for gross motor activities. The middle week Grace got sick, we persevered, but she had little verbal output that week. Since the programme has finished Graces verbal output and vocabulary has expanded tremendously. She is speaking all the time, attempting new words and using two word phrases independently. Articulation is still tricky but she watches our mouths and tries her best to copy. She has a voice and wants to be heard. This course emphasised how speech is a long, slow process but every input does increase her out put. Thank you all for partnering with us on this journey and making this course possible. We will forever be in debt to you.

    Twelve days ago, we shared our Givealittle page to help raise funds for our daughter to attend a highly recommended programme that has helped many non‑verbal people find their voice. We have been absolutely blown away by the generosity of friends, family, and complete strangers. The kindness people have shown,and the power of social media, has helped us reach the full amount needed for the course fees.

    We are so grateful.

    We will leave the page open for another 10 days for anyone who would still like to contribute. Every dollar (no matter how small) goes directly towards Grace and giving her the best chance to speak.

    Thank you again to everyone who has supported, shared, donated, or simply sent love our way. It means more than we can say.
