"As a parent of an apraxic child, I want to thank you for your work with children who have apraxia! It is clearly a passion and mission of yours. I read Becoming Verbal With Childhood Apraxia and I found this book most helpful when my son was initially diagnosed with apraxia, as I was trying to make sense of this disorder."
