my daughter has this, she was in kindergarten and had maybe 10 words. it's put her so behind. she's talking so much better now she's 9 and in 4th grade, but it's been so hard for me as a parent thinking what I did wrong or if I could have changed anything. it makes me feel like a failure as a parent watching kids her age be so advanced. she's still struggles with alot of sounds but she's grown so much and I'm so very proud of her. best of luck to you ❤

My son had apraxia. I did Hooked on Phonics and his speech improved faster than I could have imagined. He learned sign language starting as a baby to communicate before he could talk. As an adult now, one would never know he dealt with this as a child.

I’m a speech therapist, and this makes my heart so happy!!!

She is darling. There’s no other word for it!!!

i’m so glad apraxia is being acknowledged! my little brother had this, he’s 11 and going into middle school next year. he has come VERY far from where he was and it is still difficult for him to form certain words, but i’m proud of him. it’s difficult sometimes trying to get people to understand him. but he’s super smart and just like any other typical 5th grade boy (annoying as well ✨)! thank you for this video😊

You might also consider ASL. It is super fun and easy to learn.

That’s good to see that Lindy is using her communication device. Haven’t seen her using it in recent videos. A communication device should never be taken away from someone just because they can speak. We are identical twins who have autism and we use a communication device Evan though we are semi verbal. We still benefit from aac.

My daughter had apraxia of speech and went through years of speech therapy. She didn’t have the communication device though back then —that would’ve been so helpful! But now, her speech is perfect and it wAs definitely worth all the hard work she did!😊

I had very profound speech apraxia when I was a child. My parents knew that I had been diagnosed, and did nothing. The school provided speech therapy once a week. I was forced to go to school with no other assistance. I got no device like this, it truly is a blessing for her to have!

I'm glad you are supporting her and give her alternative methods of communication besides speaking! 💜

[LindysEpiphany]

I'm a Lindy too!😃 She is adorable!

[georginafg]

You’re so wonderfully supportive of your children and it makes me so happy to see❤

[lydiacarswell]

That’s so cool, I had speech problems as a child and learned basic sign language words, a device like that must give her so many more options and help so much

[jillv]

My great nephew has a device similar to that. What a Godsend for your beautiful little girl!

[rainforme]

Awww we all want to be understood. Thank heavens for this device

[nathaliegosseye]

I really feel like your such a supportive en lovely mom

I’m happy to see Apraxia being acknowledged! My little brothers both have it and struggle with helping people to understand. Neither of them can say my name properly, but my friend Jameson is helping to teach Nolan!

As a former AAC SLP, this warms my heart!

She is adorable! So glad she has, in place, a way to communicate that seems, for the most part, to work for her. 😊

My little sister has dyspraxia. She basically speaks her own language but does ok. She's in her 30s so when she was little her communication device was huge! We had to bring a cart everywhere to push it in. I'm so grateful for the use of tablets now.
