Breaking the sound barrier
Professor Erna Alant is passionate about giving people with little or no speech a chance at life.
"They have been locked up in their bodies for so long. The progress is phenomenal.”
She rejects widely held views that such people cannot be helped. "That’s consigning them to oblivion, and they don’t deserve that," she declares forcibly.
