    How You Can Help

    Beyond advocating for your child's needs, if you would like to better the "system" for future children with apraxia, and for the speech therapists working in these difficult conditions, write letters to your state's leaders informing them of the issue and how it has affected your child (see Sample Letter). "CC" your school's superintendent and special education department director, local teacher's union, state education agency director, and the state's speech language hearing association.
