Biography

Beth has had seizures since birth which went undiagnosed for 7 years. Constant trips to the doctors being told different things were causing them led to the seizures getting longer and longer. They finally did a MRI and MRA scan and discovered that she had a rare brain abnormality called polymicrogyria which means many extra folds to the surface of her brain. This affects her speech and comprehension and we are very lucky it isn't more severe. This has caused other issues including right hand side weakness, autism, epilepsy and selective mutism.

Beth has always been a happy little girl however when she started attending school it became apparent that she was different to her peers. In year 2 the bullying started. She endured this for 5 years until her mental health declined to the point that she couldn`t attend school and she hasn't spoken for 2 years now. She had been out of education for 64 weeks and won't leave the house.

She has just been accepted into a specialist setting where she will get the support and nurturing she needs. Maybe she will start to talk again. She starts the next steps of her journey in March 2025
