Kirsty and spouse Martyn had seen their son Alexander’s speech stop developing at only 6 months old and immediately knew that something wasn’t quite right with him.

“When it was proposed by a nursery nurture that he may have extraordinary needs it wasn’t that much of a shock really,” said Kirsty;

“I had an inclination something wasn’t right. I pushed and pushed and fortunately we were blessed with an early discovery by a youth advancement expert. We’re presently getting the help we require and couldn’t be happier.”

Alexander, albeit now three years of age, currently has the emotional development of a nine-month-old baby yet Kirsty is firm in her belief that he’s advancing more every day, and is seeing very noticeable changes in his behaviour patterns and understanding of the world around him.

“My supervisor has been inconceivably generous and given me heaps of prizes like free games of bingo at my work place – he couldn’t have done more for me and I’m extremely appreciative.”

Seamus Duffy, the proprietor of Tower Bingo in Tunstall, where Kirsty works, said: “Kirsty is an energetic woman and a phenomenal mum.
