May is better Speech and Hearing Month, but did you know, it is also Apraxia Awareness Month and Pediatric Feeding Disorder Month?

What is Childhood Apraxia of Speech?

From Apraxia Kids "Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS) is a motor speech disorder that first becomes apparent as a young child is learning speech. For reasons not yet fully understood, children with apraxia of speech have great difficulty planning and producing the precise, highly refined and specific series of movements of the tongue, lips, jaw and palate that are necessary for intelligible speech."

One way I think about Apraxia is that the brain says one thing and the mouth does another.

Beth and I had a great time meeting so many new people in South Riding yesterday. Thank you to all who came out to say hi and support my small business. Carla Mangone, Christina Layton, Ashley Colbus Ayres, Denise McMahon, Melissa Ceballos, Tori Truesdale and Heather Tavares, it was great seeing you all yesterday! Beth quickly became my right hand, and I couldn't be more grateful for her. We met some lovely families we are excited to help! OMG...that spinner🤣 ALL the kiddos loved it, even the big ones! All-in-all, a fun day.

Happy 20th SRWB! It’s also my third year as a member of this incredible network of strong, business-minded, philanthropic women.

Last night we met the recipients of this year’s scholarships. To hear them speak made me want to be better. These young women are our future and the future looks bright. Congratulations to all of these talented ladies.

April is World Autism Awareness Month. According to the CDC, the prevalence of Autism is 1 in 36. Please learn more about Autism, and how you can support friends or family who are Autistic or who are raising an Autistic little one. Teach your children to reach out to their Autistic peers and invite them to a small play date (just the two of them) or to a birthday party. Encourage them to learn more about their friend's reality and to learn what life is like from their perspective. I find that Autistic children are quite insightful and honest to the core. Our Autistic friends want to be involved and accepted. Let's make this the norm!

Here is the CDC's main Autism page for more information:
