The website is designed to help families, students and teachers navigate two speech-language impairments, Apraxia and Dysarthria.
This is created with functional and educational success in mind for all students with Apraxia or Dysarthria by providing information and resources to guide families, students and teachers through their roles with respect to a student's motor-speech disorder. As educators, we chose to focus on speech-language disabilities, Apraxia and Dysarthria in particular, because they are disabilities we think that teachers may be largely unaware of before they teach a student who has Apraxia or Dysarthria. We think it is important for all parties in the educational relationship have access to information and support for their participation in the success of the student with Apraxia or Dysarthria. |
