Welcome back!

On this episode, we get the parent perspective of the field of speech and language pathology. Amber Grace is the mother of two children- Vincent who is 5, and Gio who is 2 and a half. They currently reside in Brooklyn, New York. Gio was recently diagnosed with childhood apraxia of speech in January of 2024. Childhood apraxia of speech is defined by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) as “a neurological speech disorder in which the precision and consistency of moments underlying speech are impaired.” They currently travel to New Jersey to receive speech therapy once a week.
