EP 83: The Failures of Speech Therapy

Laura shares her journey advocating for her son Ethan, who communicates with a high-tech AAC device, proving that non-speaking doesn't mean non-thinking.

She discusses the barriers they faced with speech therapy, often generic and dismissive, not recognising Ethan's unique needs. The fear and misinformation surrounding autism can stifle potential.

Every child deserves a voice, and it’s critical for parents to push back against outdated assumptions.

Join us in advocating for better support and understanding in the autism community.
