When our Director and Founder, Lori Savage Grayson, is asked why she promotes campaigns related to literacy, she responds by explaining the benefits of early exposure to words, both spoken and written, on a child’s language development.
Since language is the foundation for literacy and learning, a stronger language foundation culminates with increased success at school and in academics.

Childhood Apraxia of Speech
Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS) is the term most commonly used at this time to describe a communication disorder with a specific set of characteristics affecting a child’s motor speech planning, speech sound development, and expressive oral language use.
A child knows what s/he wants to communicate but is unable to get that message to the speech articulators (i.e lips, tongue, soft palate, jaw), in a such a way that intelligible spoken words are heard.
It is important to know the history behind this disorder and more importantly to find an ASHA certified and state licensed Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) who is trained and experienced in diagnosing and providing intensive and appropriate SLP intervention to a child exhibiting characteristics of CAS, or any other speech-language-learning-communication challenges.
