ALL Parent stories
The vision of Animated Language Learning is to give children with Autism a voice, allowing them to become part of society. Parent stories are an important part of this vision.
Enda and Valerie Dodd made a huge impact on the lives of their two very special boys, Conor and Eoin, who are at the heart of everything we do and a very special part of the parent stories page.
