Communication Station 
Regional Support
California Support Groups*: V.O.I.C.E.S. (Victory Over Impairments of Communication, Expression and Speech) is a non-profit organization founded in January, 2003 by Tamara Hill and Byron Jackson, parents of a child with Apraxia. V.O.I.C.E.S. is a direct result of the desire to network with parents and professionals who care about the unique issues speech disordered children face. V.O.I.C.E.S. was created to be a resource for families with children who have Apraxia and other communication disorders. Through V.O.I.C.E.S., we will help raise awareness of Apraxia and other communication disorders and become a part of the solution, helping evey child to be heard and understood and achieve empowerment through communication! Contact Us! Please drop us a line! E -mail: voices_inc@attbi.com Phone: 310-910-3555 Website: http://www.4voices.org Apraxia_Dyspraxia_CA is a California-based internet support group for parents of children with Apraxia or Dyspraxia who live in California. Due to the limited local resources on this disorder, a parent (and child) can feel isolated. By banding together to share what we have each learned, we hope to end that isolation. We will cover all types of Apraxia including verbal, oral, limb, motor, and global (a.k.a. DCD, Developmental Coordination Disorder). Our group also includes the related soft signs such as Hypotonia and Sensory Integration Dysfunction and other disorders such as Dystharia that may co-exist with Apraxia. We will share local resources and therapies that we have discovered, as well as giving our personal doctor and therapist recommendations. Come join us as we discuss all the alternatives, such as the variety of therapy options as well as supplements. We are constantly building our list of resources in our Links section of our site. Come share your experiences and learn from ours. We will get through this maze together. Welcome!
