speech therapy needs of apraxic kids

[Guest guest]

Can anyone show me where to find written evidence (studies) that

show that apraxic kids need frequent and consistent speech therapy?

When I first found out my daughter had apraxia and joined this

group, the advice for frequent speech therapy sessions (up to 4 per

week) was abound! Where did this advice stem from?

While I am definitely an advocate for frequent and consistent speech

therapy, I need some documented proof that this will help such

children (our children).

Are there any links to study results, etc...?? Please advise.

Thank you!
