The importance of research in verbal dyspraxia care with Pam Slater
For our next guest on the podcast, Melissa speaks to Pam Slater who is a devoted rare parent and verbal dyspraxia advocate.
Pam became involved with the rare disease community because she has a daughter who was diagnosed with FOXP2 which is a condition that affects the development of speech and language.
As Pam learnt more about the condition and how to support her, she also became more involved in raising awareness about the condition.
Hear what Pam had to say to Melissa in this week's podcast.
