Other Parent Blogs

I can’t stress how important it is for other CAS parents to find each other.  Here is a list of blogs that I am aware of that are written by parents with a child diagnosed with CAS.  I can’t attest to the accuracy of the information presented on each blog, but just take them for waht they are worth – another parent’s experience.  I have classified them under two categories: active and inactive.  Active blogs have a post in the last month.  Inactive blogs do not.  That does not necessarily mean the other blogs have been abandoned.  However, even abandoned blogs may have great information on them.  If you know of or write another blog that is not included, please let me know in the comments section and I will add it.

    Hi! I’m an apraxia mom as well and stumbled upon your blog. I have started one of my own but am continuing to work on it and add to it. Once I’m caught up I hope to have more regular posts about our journey with apraxia

      Hi Linda,

      Thanks so much for commenting. I will add your blog to the list. How old is your child? How is he doing?

        hi Laura,
        He’s 26 months. He’s making some progress I believe because of OT. We have some therapy through EI, but will be just starting private ST on Monday. Our insurance had denied all coverage and I was fighting through appeals…and finally won! Some sessions anyhow, enough to get started. So I’m hoping that’s when the real progress will begin. He did just last week call for me for the very first time “mama!!” .. before mamamama was just a babble not ever directed at me. So this was very meaningful. I cried for an hour. He hasn’t been consistent with it since, but I’m hoping it will stick

          That’s wonderful that he was able to call you Mama! I know how special that sounds. I’m impressed you fought your insurance company and won! We have an HMO and our private SLP isn’t covered by them. Luckily, my parents are in a position to help us pay for her. I’m excited to hear the progress he is able to make after he starts speech. Keep me updated!

    Hi Laura!
    I found your blog through the Apraxia group on Facebook… thank you so much for your posts. I literally live less than an hour away from San Diego, but unfortunately could not make the conference this year. I wish I did, my son, Kekoa, was just diagnosed with Apraxia this past April and we’ve been trying to immerse ourselves into all that we can.
    He’s the first case that we know with Apraxia, and the first heard ever for all of our friends and family. Luckily we’ve had such great support where our loved ones are hungering to learn just as much as we are, hence why I started my blog.
    Anyway, thank you so much for posting all that you did. Its nice to see other stories of parents and children who are experiencing what we are experiencing as well. :)
    Grace :)

      Dear Grace,

      Thanks so much for commenting! I know how hard it is, especially in the beginning. Your son is very lucky to have you and your supportive family. It truly does take a village. I will add your blog to my list. Please keep me posted about how your son is doing.

      Thanks,
      Laura
