'I talk with my eyes' - you have GOT to read this!

Post by Debbie_Hepplewhite »

Do read this most wonderful, and extremely important, piece in The Guardian:

Experience: I talk with my eyes

My cerebral palsy meant I was stuck in a perpetual reception class at school – but a spelling board helped me find my voice

At last I am able to tell my story in my own words. When I was born in 2006 my parents were told I had cerebral palsy and renal failure; the MRI scan of my brain was one of the worst the technician had seen. My early years were a blur of hospital stays, sickness and prayer combined with my family’s love, which carried me through those long days of pain and uncertainty.
Please do read the full piece.
