About this Episode

May is National Apraxia Awareness Month, and I'm celebrating by talking with Jack's speech therapist, Katie Peters! Katie is a speech language pathologist who specializes in apraxia. Jack was diagnosed with Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS) earlier this year. If you want to learn what apraxia is and how you can better support Jack and others with apraxia, THIS EPISODE IS FOR YOU! I'm so excited to have Katie on the podcast today to help educate others and to be the best advocate I can for Jack.
