What I learned today was our kids with apraxia are going to be okay. Empowering them with knowledge and giving them a platform to educate and be their true authentic selves is going to be the winning formula. Beyond resolving or not resolving, having residual effects or not, empowering our kids with knowledge and then giving them the opportunity to educate is going to change the world. It really is, and I know our kids may struggle in school, but they are going to win in LIFE.
