Speech apraxia

Lets just be blunt.
Speech Apraxia S***S!!!

There are times when Aine can tell you what she wants, there are other times she can only cry.  At those times, the only thing I can do is try not to cry myself.

We have and are working with specialists to help Aine be able to communicate to the best of her abilities as well as being given the gift of including it with her hippo therapy.  All these combined has given Aine the strength and confidence to work through us not understanding her.  School is getting used to her dynovox, we continue to work on updating it, and making it better for her when she just can't get her speech or lips to work.

However! While resting today the most wonderful sounds came out of her mouth!
Mickey Mouse clubhouse, come inside its fun inside.

And....  It was clear as day!

Can we say tears of joy from this momma!  Oh yes we can!!!!
She may not be able to say it in an hour, but her tiny voice will repeat in my head while she is trying :)
