Finding My Voice With a Speech Disorder

Join us as we journey with a boy named Damarius and read how he found his voice and overcame a speech disorder. Damarius was diagnosed with Childhood Apraxia of Speech which is a disorder that makes it hard to speak. You will read how he and his family put in the time and work to help him learn to say sounds and words correctly. During this journey you will see the obstacles Damarius faced including his emotions, socializing with others, gaining confidence, his school work and more. We hope to encourage families to seek help as they realize their child may not be meeting certain speech milestones or when they notice major errors in their Child's speech. There are many different speech disorders and they require different kinds and amounts of help. Not all speech disorders are curable. But with therapy through private and public programs, children can be helped to find their voices. At the end of this book you will find different resources that may be able to help with your child and your situation.
