Darbishire, Kate: - Kate Darbishire studied Creative Writing and Education at Bath Spa University as a mature student while her four children were either at school or nursery. She thought she'd be a teacher and continue writing as a hobby. It soon became obvious that writing wasn't just a hobby for her: it was a passion - she would be a children's author! But there was a problem. One of her daughters, who has Cerebral Palsy, couldn't walk at four years old and had no speech. She had used Makaton sign language from nine months but made almost no noise at all. Kate took her on an amazing speech and language course and finally realised how to help her speak. It was a slow process, but now that little girl is a grown up. She can walk and she never stops talking. Kate worked as a Teaching Assistant in Special Needs Schools, helping lots of other youngsters with various needs. It is a job she loved but ever nagging at the back of her mind was that dream of becoming a children's author. And one particular book was demanding to get out: Speechless!
