“I CAN gave me and my son the confidence to deal with any challenge life throws at us You never forget what people do for you.”

“My son F has struggled with his speech and language over the years… When he was three, he had no way of communicating, all he could do was smile at people.  Looking back, I used to think “he’s fine, he’s just struggling a bit”…. but it wasn’t until I CAN that I began to see the full picture.  

Without I CAN’s support, my son wouldn’t have got that support and he wouldn’t have the confidence he does now.  Without them, he might have been sat in the back of a classroom, upset and alone. You never forget what people do for you.  

He originally used sign language to communicate but he doesn’t have to now as his speech and language have progressed so well.  

When he was very young, I was worried he wouldn’t get any GCSEs as he couldn’t communicate with anybody but now he’s doing his A-Levels and I’m just so proud of him!  

It’s amazing to see how far he’s come but like everyone, he still has his good days and bad days” H, F’s mum
