As part of the Intensive Training Institute, “Apraxia Boot Camp” is an intensive 4-day advanced training program delivered in partnership with the Speech-Language Pathology Department at Duquesne University. Apraxia Boot Camp was designed to strategically identify and intensively train qualified speech-language pathologists in order to boost their clinical expertise in the diagnosis and treatment of CAS.
The ideal candidate is an SLP with 5 year’s experience, who has seen a fair share of children with apraxia of speech and feels reasonable successful with clients from this population. Apraxia Boot Camp graduates are committed to maintaining an ongoing relationship with Apraxia Kids and making a difference in their communities. A full list of candidate requirements can be found on the Apraxia Boot Camp application.
Over 100 speech-language pathologists in the US and Canada have been trained through Apraxia Boot Camp. These graduates have gone on to educate other SLPs in their communities, organize Walk for Apraxia or other fundraising events, speak at our National Conference, and present On-Demand Webinars on advanced topics.
Unlike other training opportunities, Apraxia Boot Camp has a 6-month mentorship following the training where participants can receive feedback on their case study. Such mentorship is rare to find without additional cost.
Apraxia Kids is excited to offer future workshops across the country to supplement training on childhood apraxia of speech. If you are interested in additional education on childhood apraxia of speech, attend our annual National Conference!
