I’m Jordan, and I was born with Verbal Apraxia. Life didn’t give me a heads start in multiple ways, but I’ve learned to be a voice and not a victim. My Apraxia diagnosis came to me whenever I was five years old. I didn’t let Apraxia stop me, although growing up with the diagnosis was overwhelming. My mom would soon find that the school wouldn’t want to meet my needs, and teachers would soon yell at me for not being able to articulate words correctly. After that, is when a Speech-Language Pathologist would come in and tell every person in that school what exactly Verbal Apraxia is. The reason I named my blog “Fighting for my Voice” is that I did fight for it.
