![✨ From vowels to cockatoo! ✨
When I first met Liam at 8 years old, he was speaking only in vowels. He couldn’t yet say 1–2 syllable words clearly, and early consonant sounds like t, d, n, and w were missing. His speech was completely unintelligible.
Fast forward just 6 months of twice-weekly telehealth sessions (plus consistent home practice with his amazing mum 💪)… and on their family holiday I get this video: Liam saying not a 1-syllable word, not a 2-syllable word, but a 3-syllable word — cockatoo! 🦜
Yes, it still needs smoothing, but this leap from only vowels to tackling multisyllabic words is incredible. He continues to amaze us every week. 💙
➡️ For practical therapy tips (like teaching 3-syllable words), check out my eBook [link in bio].
➡️ My upcoming online module will also teach my evidence-based syllable shape framework — the exact approach that takes kids with apraxia from vowels only to complex words like Liam’s cockatoo.

![💙 For the first time, Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS) is being featured on national news 💙
As the Thriving Kids and NDIS talks continue, it’s critical the public — and decision-makers — understand:
• CAS requires specialised, intensive therapy at least twice a week with a speech pathologist trained in CAS.
• A group program or long waitlist severely disadvantages these children.
• CAS cannot be lumped into the same category as “speech delay.”
• CAS cannot be treated effectively in a group setting — it requires individualised, targeted therapy.
• CAS is not caused by iPads or screen time.
• And unlike other speech or language delays, children with CAS do not simply grow out of it.
This is why public awareness matters. Everyone has heard of autism — it’s time people also know what Childhood Apraxia of Speech is.
📺 The story will also feature on the ABC 7pm News tonight. Please tune in if you can and help spread awareness.
We call on @NDIS_AUS, @MarkButlerMP, @speechpathaus and @apraxia_kids to ensure CAS is recognised in the Thriving Kids program as a lifelong neurological disability requiring adequate, ongoing, and specialised support.
