Old faces, new faces, and the passing of the torch

Old faces, new faces, and the passing of the torch.  The selfless individuals who had been there before were still there giving back like they always had and a new wave stood by their sides ready to continue the mission. I have so much respect and love for the past, and I’m so excited for the future!

The mission has never changed and was never about any one person.  It’s about Apraxia and Kids.

Every Child Deserves a Voice.

Let’s see this mission continue to spread!

Local Walk for Apraxia gives a voice to children who struggle to find theirs.

This year the Denver Apraxia Walk was held August 5th, at Clement Park in Littleton.  Apraxia of speech is a severe speech disorder in children that makes the act of learning to speak very difficult.  Many endure years of speech therapy struggling to find their voice. I have to say this year was the BEST WALK YET, but it wasn’t do to me.  Denver has the most incredible, talented, and

The apraxia conference is ALWAYS emotional, inspiring, overwhelming and amazing. This is my 3rd, and I can say I am still pretty tired and exhausted by the end. This year it seemed I was busy on all the breaks, but it’s a good busy. This is my passion and this is where I belong. During a couple breaks, I signed up to do the “SLP Is In” booth, which is

It feels like home this year: Apraxia Conference 2017

Wow!  This conference in San Diego has been a WHIRLWIND. I was greeted with palm trees upon arrival, and being a Colorado native, anytime I see palm trees my mind thinks “hello vacation.”  I had some time to kill before my room was ready, so I was able to walk over to the beach.  My “beaches” in Colorado are sandy, but are man-made; so I’m always in awe of a

Why do we call it “childhood” apraxia of speech? Isn’t it lifelong?

Why do we call it “childhood” apraxia of speech? Isn’t it lifelong?

Ever wonder why CAS is called Childhood Apraxia of Speech? Is it really necessary to have the word “childhood” in there?  Doesn’t it ostracize those who never truly outgrow apraxia?  Plus, isn’t it a lifelong neurological disorder? Why can’t we just call it apraxia, or verbal apraxia? You might be surprised to know the reasoning was more thought out than you might think. If you’ve ever had these questions, Sharon
