Apraxia Walk 2014

Walk for Children's Apraxia of Speech

Just this year, Brooklyn was diagnosed with Verbal Apraxia of Speech. It has been a slow road as we have listened to Brooklyn learn how to talk. She can say much more now with the help of her speech therapy and classes at the MISD (Macomb Intermediate School District). At the age of 2 1/2 she is still learning how to talk but has to work extra hard at producing sounds to create words. She is such a great little learner and works so hard to communicate with us. We were able to a walk to raise awareness of this speech disorder that people may not be aware of. Below are a few links if you would like to learn more about it. Here are some fun pictures from the day of the walk. We were so grateful to the family and friends who supported us on that day and continue to support us!
