Book excerpt: What would you go through as a parent to give your child the power of speech? Parents dream their children will achieve many great things, but most parents do not dream their children will struggle for years just to speak what is in their hearts and minds. Kathy Hennessy faced this challenge with not one but both of her children when they were diagnosed with childhood apraxia of speech. What does a child feel like when no one in the world understands what she is trying to say? Imagine the frustration when even your mom doesn t get it. Young Kate Hennessy understands all too well those feelings of exasperation and defeat. In this forthright and emotional story, Kathy tells of the mountains they climbed just for her children to have a chance at speech. Hennessy tells of the battles she waged with insurance companies, pediatricians, school systems, and family, while Kate shares her own experiences and those of her brother with bullies, friends, and following their dreams. Heart-breaking and heart-warming, the Hennessys tell of the intense commitment to therapy, the magic of Santa Claus, and the sadness of teaching children to defend themselves. Daughter Kate tells of the determination of her brother and herself not to be consumed or broken by their disability; Kathy shares her creative solutions to their early speech limitations and her pride in seeing them as young adults speak in public at national conferences on childhood apraxia of speech. Not only had they conquered their own challenges, they were leading the way for other children like them.

Scott Fitzgerald and Henry James to Joan Didion and Toni Morrison, with doses of poets Lucie Brock-Broido, Rita Dove, James Wright, and Li-Young Lee.

Book excerpt: Billy was a smart boy, but he felt frustrated since it was difficult to move his lips, jaw, and tongue, to clearly say the words in his head. This is a story about how Billy found his words with the help of his speech-language pathologist and his family. With hard work and each small step, Billy became happier and gained confidence when talking to his family and friends. Written for ages 2-4, Billy's story is a relatable journey for the youngest children with a diagnosis of childhood apraxia of speech. Childhood apraxia of speech is a type of speech sound disorder characterized by specific difficulty programming the correct oral motor movements for the production of speech sounds. Speech-language pathologists may use this book as a companion to treatment to illustrate the family's contribution outside of treatment. Examples are provided of how caregivers can incorporate practice into their daily routines and celebrate every successful sound and word.
