Great video!

I found a great video that gives me so much hope. It was shown at the last CASANA (Childhood Apraxia of Speech Association of North America) national apraxia conference and was made by a young woman who had apraxia that is now resolved. I am adding a link to the video under the resources section. Hearing and seeing these young people who have been living with apraxia was amazing and helped to to envision a future for my sweet AJ that isn't so bleak. It is something I will view over and over again when I am feeling down or hopeless.
It has been a better afternoon and I am feeling stronger and more ready to face the IEP on Friday. I am thankful to all the friends and family who have been so wonderfully supportive during the past few days as I have been overwhelmed with emotion. If you are going through this yourself, sooner or later when the reality sets in please be sure to lean on those people close to you. I am learning that a person is only as strong as their support network.
