Apraxia and Down Syndrome
I came across a great blog the other day regarding Speech/Language and Down Syndrome. I love this interview about Down Syndrome and Apraxia. I couldn’t agree more with the therapist’s view point.
I have worked with many kids who have Down Syndrome, and they are some of my favorite kiddos. They are sweet and loving, and usually have a stubborn streak. If you can earn their trust though, you are their buddy for life.
When I was 9 months pregnant, my car stalled in the middle of a busy intersection. It was a young man with Down Syndrome who helped push my car to safety. He ran off to catch his bus before I could thank him <3
