Although none of us knew when our baby was born that one day he or she would have apraxia, we all had dreams of what their childhood would be like …hearing mama for the first time, having silly conversations, and singing the ABC song. We were set, ready to go to Italy. But instead we …
by Tara, Contributing Writer As spring finally (hopefully) takes hold for us here in the Midwest, questions have already started popping up to make decisions for next fall. Good grief, can I just enjoy the beautiful flowers beginning to bloom outside? Not so much. Our little boy just turned five years old … something I’m …
“I love you mama!” my son Jake shouted with a bright smile as our paths crossed in the hallway one morning a few days after Christmas. He was still in his pajamas, enjoying a laid back holiday schedule, and his blue-green eyes sparkled with pride. I stopped in my tracks, joy overflowing from my soul. …
There is a poem a friend gave me in my mid-twenties when I was going through a break-up. Some of you may have heard it before as I have seen it many times since then … Having a child with multiple food allergies, eczema, asthma, and apraxia has brought many changes to my life. A …

by Sam, Contributing Writer As of last week I intended to do this week’s post on our current path and newest efforts. In addition to our therapists working to integrate Dave Hammer’s plans, our newest effort just happens to be listening therapy. Since there was just a write up on it by another friend I …
