 A note from the Author

"I wrote this book because I know how many children live with Speech and Language difficulties, and how it can leave families feeling unseen or isolated. This book is my way of showing that no child is alone in this journey."

Rishi is a father, author and founder driven by one clear purpose: giving children with Speech and Language delays a voice. His greatest inspiration is his son Aryan, whose own Speech and Language journey opened Rishi’s eyes to the daily challenges faced by millions of children and families.

Through powerful storytelling, the villains represent the barriers that block words and confidence, while the heroes embody courage, resilience and bravery.

This is Rishi’s first book, written to show children that they are not broken, behind or alone. His mission is simple but bold: to empower children everywhere believe in their own voice and recognise their superpowers.

Review:

'The Speech Heroes' offers a thoughtful and unique portrayal of the emotions and experiences of a young child with speech, language, and communication needs. These are based around the first-hand experiences of Aryan and his father, Rishi who have been working jointly to raise awareness and educate others. This book is highly recommended for children, families, caregivers, and educators supporting young people.
