Website FAQ

First, know that you are not alone. There are supports available to you to help you along your journey. Our website has a lot of information that can help you. We suggest starting here, with our “New to Apraxia” page to find our comprehensive Parent Portal, to learn all the basic information and to see resources for every developmental step of the way. Make sure you join our Facebook support group to seek advice and support from other parents and professionals. You can seek an evaluation from an SLP who has experience with childhood apraxia of speech by visiting our Speech-Language Pathologist Directory.

Each year, Apraxia Kids awards speech tablets to children and families in need throughout the US and Canada. Children with apraxia can use these speech tablets for speech practice and/or as a speech-generating device. Since its inception, the Speech Tablets for Apraxia program has awarded more than 700 tablets to children with apraxia of speech! Click here to see when the next round of applications will open! Questions regarding this program should be sent to speechtablets@apraxia-kids.org

Apraxia Kids has many resources that are available to help families support their child. See our frequently used resources here.

The directory is not inclusive of all therapists experienced in childhood apraxia of speech. We are continually working to reach out to therapists across the US, Canada and even internationally who have skills, training, and experiences to be successful with children with apraxia.

We encourage you to check out a local university that may house a speech- language and hearing clinic.  There may be someone at the university that has some expertise or can help guide you.  You may also wish find the closest Speech-Language Pathologist in the directory and see if they are willing to work on a consultative basis, provide a treatment plan and/or be available for collaboration with a local therapist.  Some specialists may be willing to do video consultation to provide input for your child or to provide tele-health services. If you need additional assistance please contact info@apraxia-kids.org.

• Advancements in technology have afforded children with disabilities a variety of unique opportunities! For children with apraxia of speech, there are many apps on the market that can help with various speech targets. Please note that the type of app your child may require strongly depends on where they are on their speech journey. Your child’s speech-language pathologist can help you determine which apps may be best, but you can also join our Facebook group “Apps for Apraxia Kids” to hear from other parents!
• For more information, please see the article in our library entitled “What About Sign Language, Speech Tablets, and Other Communication Forms?”
