How do I take care of my child with childhood apraxia of speech?

Offering your child support as they grow is the best way you can take care of your child diagnosed with apraxia of speech. Your child will likely participate in one-on-one sessions with a speech-language pathologist (SLP). Your child’s SLP may offer homework for your child to practice in between visits. Just like homework from a math class, it is important to help your child complete their speech assignments at the same rate as their educational assignments.

Follow up with your child’s SLP to keep track of how much your child is improving and offer encouragement along their journey.
