Abstract:	Speaking of Apraxia is now available in a Second Edition. Eight years ago, when Leslie Lindsay, former Child & Adolescent Psychiatric R.N., and mother to a daughter with Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS).."now resolved.."couldn...t find any parent-friendly books to help her child and family with CAS, she wrote one. Now she...s updated this well-researched book and shares with readers the benefit of her experience and perspective. CAS is a neurological, motor-based speech disorder which creates a disruption to speech movement and timing. Even though children want to speak, the coordination difficulty results in limited and unclear speech. With intensive speech-language therapy, children can expand their speech ability and intelligibility. Speaking of Apraxia provides in-depth guidance and support for families of children with CAS and the professionals who provide services. Supportive and encouraging, Speaking of Apraxia gives readers the detailed information they need to get working on all aspects of their child...s CAS. Additional helpful content includes resources, a glossary, and appendices about possible co-occurring conditions, health insurance, camp and enrichment programs, and speech and language milestones.
