We are beyond grateful for the speech therapists who work so hard to provide the best possible treatment for our grant recipients and the most important role they play in the child's communication journey.
"...One of the most difficult parts of being a professional is knowing what research and best practice suggests, and making it fit with the reality of the world. For many families, time and money are the 2 most precious resources and oftentimes major roadblocks for getting appropriate therapy for their child. Thanks to your grant, I was able to design and implement a treatment program for one of the children on my caseload that I had wanted to implement for almost a year without the family having to choose between necessities...I have seen the growth not only in his actual speech skills, but also in his self confidence as he attempts to share more ideas and stories than ever before. This grant provided the needed boost for this child in where he is in his Apraxia journey, and inspired me as a clinician to continue to think outside the box when it comes to meeting the needs of clients and families as they navigate best practice within the confines of reality."
