The Windy City/Chicagoland Apraxia Network is an online discussion group and resource site for Chicagoland, Illinois and Midwest region parents of those with apraxia and related disorders. We respect individual opinions on our list, but we also know there is a time to take your comments off the list and respond privately. Please be respectful, courteous and considerate. We welcome therapists, physicians, educators and other professionals on our site to learn and share about those they know or work with who have apraxia. This site is meant for sharing and informational purposes only and does not substitute for medical, therapeutic or professional advice from your trusted practitioner. ATTENTION PROFESSIONALS: Our list and site are intended for parents to vent and freely share information, resources and strategies that have worked well for their children and families. This site is not intended as a professional marketing or advertising venue. We appreciate your respective professional perspectives, but ask that you please refrain from advertising your services, businesses or products on our list. Your greatest gift to our families is your understanding and experience as a professional and as a fellow parent, sibling, grandparent or other relative. If you are interested in further promoting your business, service or product to our network families or through The Apraxia Connection, please contact the site moderator or network leader at chicagoapraxia@comcast.net. Thank you for respecting our guidelines and making this a welcoming environment for those joining us.
