Produktbeschreibung

"...words will always retain their power. Words offer the means to meaning, and for those who will listen, the enunciation of truth." - V, 2005

The power of communication is essential; some say 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, which Damian has had from birth, causes sentences to come out muddled and slow, even though all Damian's ideas are there. Here Damian talks about how DLD has affected his life, and how the charity Afasic has been there to support him throughout.

Find the struggles that Damian had to go through in his life for him to speak.

Finding a Voice recounts the journey Damian has taken. From the early years, he was struggling to be diagnosed and have the disability recognized, to being heard as Vice President of Afasic.

Autorenporträt

Damian Quinn (1974-) was born in Luton, Bedfordshire, and is the author of 'Finding a Voice', which is now a Number One Book. Like every other child born into this world, he was a very normal baby, except he was born with a disability called Developmental Language Disorder, which is the subject of the book.The art of communication is something that everyone has. Although, not everyone does exactly have the art. This is because, like Damian, they are born with the disability as mentioned earlier. When he was born, he only had words for his Mother, which was 'Mimmy', and nothing for his siblings or father.At times, communicating can be very difficult, and writing his first book has proven very difficult, but he has persevered. The end result was what he wanted-to let everyone know that it is very real and that every two children in a class of thirty could have the disability. Damian tries to spread awareness throughout his adult life.Away from spreading awareness, Damian enjoys going to the cinema, socializing with friends, playing on the Xbox, and building websites(although he doesn't think that he is that brilliant at it, he still tries his best).You can connect with me on: https: //www.dysphasia.co.uk https: //www.x.com/@DysphasiaPV https: //www.facebook.com/speechImpairment https: //www.youtube.com/@DysphasiaPV?sub_confirmation=1
