• 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 and Canada that 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 and language department.  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. 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!

Please see the article in our library entitled “What About Sign Language, Speech Tablets, and Other Communication Forms?” Apraxia Kids has partnered with Penn State Health Children’s Hospital to share and distribute the Speech and Language Apps guide published by The department of Behavior and Developmental Pediatrics at The Penn State Hershey Children’s Hospital.  Apraxia Kids does not endorse any specific apps; the directory is meant to be a guide/resource.

• I am a Speech-Language Pathologist – how can I get on the directory list?
• At Apraxia Kids, we understand how very challenging it can be for families to locate a speech-language pathologist who has a high level of experience and skill in assessing and treating children with apraxia of speech which is why we have developed the directory.

We screen all professionals in a multi-step process in order to have some reasonable understanding that they have the skills, training, and experiences to be successful with children with apraxia. You must pass (80% or higher) an online quiz. Upon successful completion you will be asked a series of short answer questions. Once we have had the opportunity to review your short answers, we will contact you to alert you if we are able to include you in the directory.

• What costs are associated with the registry?
  • Apraxia Kids is committed to providing an accurate, user-friendly Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) directory. In order to support database maintenance and information updates, we suggest a voluntary $25.00 donation (from SLPs entering the directory).
• I am an Speech-Language Pathologist and have submitted to be included in the registry – when do I hear back?
  • Please anticipate up to 8 weeks before being notified.
• I received an error message while submitting my results.
