I am a stay at home mom of three children, one of which was diagnoised with apraxia at age three. At that time I began researching all I could to help my daughter. Due to my efforts she had an amazingly quick recovery. I decided to start a website to share my knowledge and help other children learn to talk.
I have written an eBook called "Apraxia Explained" highlighting her journey to recovery.
