Diego
I’m Diego, I had brain ischemia almost two years ago. I was in hospital and was unable to speak, it was as if I had forgotten the words. That's when I started speech therapy. I worked with the speech and language therapist almost every day for a long time. Now I can write and express myself better. There are good days and bad days, but now I am able to do more activities and I can do things by myself.
My son Tomás was born prematurely and has difficulties eating and speaking. He is now three years old, but he only uses a few words and has trouble feeding himself. His speech therapist sees him at our house every week and helps him to eat and learn to communicate. I know we have a long way to go, but I am happy that I can count on people to help him.María Teresa
