Top Ten SLP Mommy of Apraxia posts for 2019
ByLaura Smith December 29, 2019December 29, 2019

I have faith though that this next decade will be one of overcoming! I know ten years from now I’m going to be writing another success and triumph story, much like I did in the book I published this year called “Overcoming Apraxia.” I also want this next decade to be one of exponential growth in apraxia awareness and information so all children have the access to the best therapy.
