The Chicagoland Apraxia Network
Our group, which more than 350 families strong, offers support and information for parents and caregivers of children with childhood apraxia of speech and associated disorders. We share information about cutting edge therapies, negotiating IEPs, community programs, and physicians and specialists. We offer face-to-face support meetings for parents, families, caregivers, and professionals several times a year. We also offer local support and resources through Windy City Apraxia (our online Yahoo Group) so that our group members around Chicagoland can easily share their thoughts and valuable information with each other.
