While help has always been readily available for Emma
Alison and her husband Rod, 37, a computer programmer
have had to fight to get Cameron the support he needs.
People could see that Emma has special needs but because
Cameron was doing so well at school
his teachers never thought there was a problem.
They refused to acknowledge that he was gifted
Admittedly it took Alison
and Rod a while to realise their son was different.
Cameron was our first child and we didn’t really have anything
to compare him with. He always had a very
impressive vocabulary and we knew he was bright but he didn
t reach his milestones exceptionally
early and there were no other real signs.
