“Non-speakers with apraxia need people to believe in their intelligence and give them opportunities to show it. They need to be taught in a more engaging way.

Phillip joins this episode of Autism Stories to discuss what you should know about apraxia according to a non-speaker, the importance of friendships in his life, and his goals for the future.
