May is Apraxia Awareness Month. Apraxia of Speech is a rare and complex neurological speech disorder. To spread awareness, Elizabeth Bull, a parent with first-hand experience, visited Year 2 to talk about the condition and to celebrate other ways we can communicate beyond speech. She read and signed Julia Donaldson’s ‘Superworm.’ We then taught the class how to sign their names using Makaton, as well as a few other words such as ‘help,’ ‘please,’ and ‘sorry.’ The class really enjoyed it.
