I can't thank you enough for the grant you awarded my daughter to allow her to receive specialized speech therapy for her Apraxia of Speech. Amanda is a 5.5 year old and was diagnosed about 2 years ago with Childhood Apraxia of Speech. We have been doing speech therapy locally for 2.5 years with little progress. When we arrived a the Kaufman Children's Center in Detroit, Amanda only had single word spontaneous speech and that was limited to approximately 50 words and were not very intelligible by anyone. After working for 4 days with Nancy Kaufman, Amanda now has some 3 word sentences and is more intelligible to others. She has a long road to travel to become resolved, however, because of the grant you gave her which allowed us to bring her to the Kaufman Children's Center, she now has a better opportunity to become an effective speaker one day. You are a blessing to Amanda and our family. Thank you again.
