Guest guest Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 " I have written a book for children and families to help them be more sensitive to the issues of having a friend with apraxia. I used the story of a child in summer camp who is teased about his inability to speak clearly to help families talk about how children (and adults) can act more respectfully towards those who are different. I haven't seen any other books like this out there but it will cost me a lot of money to self-publish and I want to be sure that people will buy a children's book like this. It will cost at least $10 per book to publish. Would you buy one? Do you know others who would? Do you know any private bookstores who might buy some?

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 It all depends on the scientific references given in the book to documented information, for me.(Genetic documentation/information about apraxia & neurologically-based conditions carries a lot of weight, for me) Honestly, if it was just a " story " , I would have to pass. Additionally, if it is a book about *one modality* cures all (or similar to a fix all), then I also would have to decline because neurological insults do not occur alone and there is no magic cure (what works for one won't work for everyone, as every one is different) I assume you wanted honesty? > > > > new poll on apraxia digest > > Posted by: " jbmistletoe " jbmistletoe@ jbmistletoe > > Fri Jan 8, 2010 11:59 am (PST) > > > > > > Hi all, > > I just started a poll on whether people would purchase a child's book on > > apraxia. please go to the poll on this apraxia network of bergen county > > digest under egroups and vote.
