Cornerstone Speech & Language
"Sarah is a three years old. She was a quiet baby and quiet toddler. She seems to understand what she hears and she can follow directions, but she uses very few words and lots of gestures. Lately, Sarah's been having tantrums. Why won't Sarah speak?"
Childhood Apraxia of Speech is a neurological pediatric speech disorder in which the child knows what he wants to say, but lacks the ability to plan speech movements in order to say the words.
Carol Krakower, a speech and language pathologist is offering a free parent workshop and will share information about Childhood Apraxia of Speech in a "parent friendly" language.
Some of the topics will include:
What can I do at home to help my child?
What are the new techniques?
How can we understand childhood apraxia of speech?
What goes wrong in the speech process of our kids?
What do we know about effective speech therapy and what it "looks like"?
What progress can or should be expected?
Open question and discussion period will follow
