Love this and all your explanations! My son is 11 and has been fighting Apraxia all his life. He does really great now but I can tell how hard he has to work sometimes to make those words come out. After 8 1/2 years, he has stopped therapy, just has r and s/sh distortions now but often would rather not worry about it and just say it however he says it. People usually can still understand and his friends definitely understand. Thankfully, it has never really limited his ability/desire to be social and he was never really very self conscious about his speech and this has been a huge gift. It is great to hear all this explained from the viewpoint of an adult. I am certainly going to share this with him! Thank you!

Thank you so much! My 4yo noticed today that he talks differently and was really upset. Once we calmed down we watched some of your videos to help explain why he has trouble speaking. You made him feel so much better. He excitedly told me “he’s like me!”

Thank you so much, Jordan. We love these videos (our 9 year-old has verbal and generalized motor apraxia). They give us great joy and hope.

Jordan! You are becoming my Hero! I have to say I have gotten more info within your 2 videos then I have in the last 11 years. Even Branden has been learning more. I have always tried to teach him but hearing it all from someone with Verbal Apraxia is so much different and better! Please keep sharing these videos with the world! The world so needs it!! Branden who is now 14 got so excited to see that you did another video! Thank you! It means the world to us! When Branden was slow moving in his milestones but we figure it was because they always say boy are a bit slower. However when he was about 3 his words were Hi, Bye, Mom, Dad and Ball. One night I put Branden to bed as the child he was. When he woke I heard him playing about but not calling for him like he normally did. Jordan, I went and got my son who looked up at me from his bed, smiled and said "Guh". That was all he could say for a long time cause waiting lists for specialists suck. I was told this was due to the Apraxia. Have you ever heard of that? I am unable to find anything like that on it. What are your thoughts? Stay Awesome! Amy from Apraxia Awareness on FB

You have helped my Son and I so much! Thank You! Jordon.

My 3 yr old girl was diagnosed with apraxia. Speech therapy has helped her immensely. Since changing her speech approach she has flourished! I would say sign language has really helped too. She is so smart and she’s more confident too with trying more words and connecting it all together. But we introduced sign language at 6 months and we still work on it because it helps everyone involved. Thanks for your videos!

I worry soooo much about my son. I don't want ppl to assume that he's unintelligent. I love him dearly. He just turned 3 and his speech is broadening daily before he couldn't make sounds we are at 3-4 word sentences. Just bliss is what I feel. But if he tries to have a full on conversation it's just babble, and very difficult to understand.

Awesome Jordan thank you so much for the videos, we would love to keep hearing from you! I watch your videos with my granddaughter Brooke who is 5 years old and also has Verbal apraxia. Thank you again for educating my Brooke as well as myself.

Thank you so much for this awesome video!! I have a 3 year grandson who doesn’t say anything yet. I’m so worried. You are giving me hope that he can kick this Apraxia!!

I'm so emotional (in a happy way) to have discovered you. Please keep making videos. I'm so happy to be able to share your videos with my 9 year old grandson so he will know he's not alone in his challenges. He has come a long way and I'm sure following your journey will be inspiring for him. You're a wonderful human being! You're a rock star! Please keep it up!

Wonderful! Thanks ❤️

Hi is me Branden I like the videos that you make keep it up on the work and also I like your laugh (my mommy told me to say that)

Thank you so much Jordan! Your videos are so great! Do you have any videos meant for the child ? My 7 year old knows he is different. He says he hates his voice. Would love for him to hear how to manage it while at a young age. thanks for all that you do for the Apraxia community!

Thank you so much mate. How come you stopped?

our twin granddaughters, age 7, both have verbal apraxia. They've improved greatly with speech therapy. I was wondering if when you were younger if you were picked on by classmates and if so, how did you handle that.

As a apraxia its hard af to respond exactly when I talk to females

I understand all your words and don't find your speech different enough to discuss or bring up. Your speech is not that different from someone with an accent.
