The power of communication is essential; some say it is 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 that Damian has had from birth, causes sentences to come out muddled and slow, even though all of Damian's ideas are there-Damian talks about how DLD has affected his life and how the charity Afasic has supported him.
Find the struggles that Damian had to go through for him to speak.
5.0 out of 5 stars. Great read!
I received my book this afternoon and finished it this evening. DLD and Damo's struggles growing up were fascinating and highly informative. It is sometimes an emotional read, especially when Damo talks about his feelings about failing his parents. Damo is an absolute delight to know, and I know his parents would be immensely proud of who he is today! I urge people to read this book and educate themselves on this-fantastic job!
5.0 out of 5 stars. It is A most enjoyable and informative read.
