Hey Everyone! Our family is participating in the Apraxia Walk in September. As many of you know, Ian was diagnosed with this at a very young age. Apraxia is a speech disorder where we literally have to teach his muscles how to make the sounds. It's not very common and we literally have worked our butts off to make sure he had every opportunity possible to succeed. Thankfully, we are on the right track. The main problem was finding the right therapist for him as many speech therapists are not trained in Apraxia. Luckily, we were able to secure the best one in Buffalo and I told her I would make whatever time she could see him work. However, I spent much of my time during COVID on teletherapy, with this amazing P.R.O.M.P.T therapist, participating in all his speech lessons so I could make sure he would succeed. Then once in person, I would drive him to his therapy, sit in the driveway while he had his speech and then drive him home....3x a week totaling about 2 hours each time. Our speech therapist, Leah Blum, has been the most important person in making sure Ian had a successful outcome. Please consider donating to our team to help raise awareness and resources for this diagnosis. The walk is in September and we welcome anyone that wants to join our team.
