Supporting Each Other Through Life's Unique Challenges
Let's grow together.
From navigating four unique paths with my boys, I learned that no journey is the same, but no one should walk it alone.
Each step, from educational challenges to school transitions, from waiting lists to breakthroughs, has shaped my understanding of what support truly means.
First Steps to Understanding
My eldest showed me the beginning of this journey. Born in 2008, his delayed milestones and speech development opened my eyes to a different path. Through physiotherapy and speech therapy, he took his first steps at 18 months. His resilience shone through primary school, and his autism diagnosis at 13 helped us understand his unique way of seeing the world.
Breaking Expected Patterns
My second son taught me that every journey is unique. While meeting early milestones brilliantly, his path took a turn at 18 months. Through mainstream education to specialised learning support, his diagnoses of autism and moderate learning difficulties showed me the importance of adapting to each child's needs.
Finding His Own Voice
My third beautiful boy brought new lessons in support and understanding. With learning difficulties and severe speech delay, he flourished with dedicated classroom assistance in mainstream primary. His autism diagnosis helped shape his educational journey, leading him to a specialized high school where he continues to grow.
New Beginnings
My youngest son reminds me that every journey starts fresh. Despite the age gap with his brothers, his early challenges with tongue tie and current assessments for autism services show me how valuable experience can be. His journey benefits from the understanding gained through his brothers' paths.
