08 Oct October Newsletter
Dear Friends,
As we approach the last few months of 2020, we at Apraxia Kids have so much to share. Our October Newsletter is full of updates and opportunities for our Apraxia Community!
Our staff has been busy planning for the remainder of 2020 and looking forward to 2021 with the hope that we can once again be together in person. It is with great pleasure that I share all of our exciting announcements.
- October is AAC Awareness Month, and what better way to kick off the month than to share valuable information. For children with apraxia of speech, the inability to effectively communicate may lead to frustration, anxiety, and/or reduced self-confidence. We at Apraxia Kids have been supporters of the use of augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) through the information we provide online and our ongoing community partnerships. We are also pleased to share with our families that our Speech Tablet Program Application is now available. Please share this application with families that might be in need of this service!
- Last week, we shared information about the 2021 National Conference. We are pleased to share our application to present at this annual educational event. Whether you attend in person or virtually, next year’s conference will have lots of valuable information from our CAS experts.
- Our families across the United States and Canada have embraced the Virtual Walk for Apraxia. Walks are still taking place through November. Even if the walk in your area has already happened, it is not too late to register, receive your official Walk for Apraxia shirt, and celebrate your Apraxia Star!
- We are excited to launch our NEW Be The Voice program, which provides creative kits to spread awareness and raise funds in the classroom, community, and workplace. Visit the redesigned webpage to learn more about how you can get involved and “Be the Voice” in your local community!
We hope you find this newsletter informative. Please know we are committed to providing education and support to our families and our professional community.
Together, we will move our mission forward. Together, we will make a difference in the lives of children with apraxia of speech.
Best,
Angela Grimm
Executive Director
