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.

Choo Choo


We took a train ride this past weekend during the kids' fall break from school. They had a blast! Here's a cute picture of my littlest conductor watching the train go by. You can see that he's covering his ears as he often does to loud noises. I guess you just have to know Alex to really appreciate this picture.
