Thank you Caroline for your support 💙

With groups such as yours, Mikey's Wish Foundation, and Medics for Rare Disease, which I am also proud to support, I hope things will change for the better💙. 3/3

Due to lack of awareness, and policy, she didn't receive early intensive intervention for her speech, which is why I am so passionate about raising awareness of CAS and genetic conditions.

Research has identified CAS is a red flag for genetic change with 1 in 3 cases being of genetic cause.

Thank you Ruth. It's a pleasure to be a friend of Speech Apraxia UK. The work you are doing to support all types of Apraxia is incredible!

As you know, my teenage daughter has #CAS, as part of a genetic condition, FOXP2 in her case.

3. In #apraxia, the shortage is not of #slps per se, recent @sydney.edu.au research shows the issue is finding an slp who will provide evidence based treatment in sufficient dose and then paying for that therapy. DM me if you want the evidence. #dttc #rest #nuffield #ultrasound #aac #integrpa

Interesting to hear your journey, and the positive outcomes from the twists and turns along the way!
