Growing up with Speech Apraxia- Mikey Akers

Listen to this inspiring podcast where I interview Mikey Akers. In his own words, Mikey describes his journey- I was diagnosed with verbal dyspraxia (now known as childhood apraxia of speech) when I was 2 and a half, the worst case my speech therapist had ever come across. I never met anyone who shared the same diagnosis, so at 13 I started a Facebook page to raise awareness. For the last 10 years I have actively been raising awareness through sharing my story. I noticed the struggle families like mine had to access the speech and language therapy that they so desperately need. The therapy that will ensure they have a voice. I wanted to help and through the work I have been doing, I’ve made great connections around the world.
