The advice I would give to parents who have children with Apraxia is to make sure you’re involved and work with them at home. I started preschool at 2 years old. I got speech therapy at school and I went to the Children’s Hospital to get more speech therapy. Having parents who worked so hard so I could get the support I needed. So I encourage parents to be hands-on with their children and advocate for them.

The advice I would give to young children with Apraxia is to work hard, but don’t forget to have fun. Apraxia is extremely frustrating to have because communicating what you need or want isn’t always the easiest. But by working hard, progress will begin to show. Don’t let Apraxia take away the voice you fully heartily deserve.
