Hello I'm Rebecca and this is what I want to do for my future career
I want to be a speech therapist because....
When my little brothers where young they had a speech difficulty caused by developmental delay and autism
Speech and language difficulties don't only effect speech......
They also have a detrimental effect on all aspects of mental development
Delayed speech can cause behavioural issues
Imagine this......
You want a drink......
But you aren't able to get it yourself and you don't know how to ask for it.....
This leads to.....
These are all situations that I have witnessed in my home life,
I have also seen how powerful speech is....
We can all take it for granted, the ability to open our mouth and to speak,
But for some this is a real struggle....
Ive seen with the help of a good speech therapist how lives can be changed
It is something I believe in...
I want to help!
