Let this Apraxia Awareness Month and Mental Health Awareness Month not just be a crazy coincidence, but a reminder that everyone on this planet is experiencing joys, fears, heartaches, and love and that is simply this thing called LIFE. Beyond the “I’m here for you,” let’s let this month be a chance for us to show it through our actions.
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.
The challenge today for apraxia awareness month was to recognize a teacher making a difference.
Speech therapy is predominately speech and language therapy, but the counseling aspect I believe is significantly underscored.

I am so excited to have probably my favorite person I know on social media I know with us today. His name is Mikey and he is admin to the page Mikey’s Wish – Verbal Dyspraxia Awareness. Mikey’s famous tagline is that himself and others with verbal dyspraxia/apraxia are “too cool to follow the neurotypical rule.” Mikey thank you so much for being here! For my readers who don’t know,
