Alex's Journey with Apraxia

Apraxia is believed to be a neurologically based speech disorder that interferes with a child's ability to correctly prounounce sounds, syllables, and words. A child with apraxia will often have a limited and possibly unintelligible vocabulary, inconsistent speech errors, and may even lose words they once knew. Speech therapy is imperative and intensive, but most apraxic children who receive intervention can eventually become competent oral communicators.

Today was Alex's last day with his Early Intervention Speech Therapist, Ms. Jane, who has been wonderful to both myself and Alex. We will miss her so much!
