Recommended Apraxia Books

For additional information I have included some of the recommended books for apraxia and child development. Although I have read many other books, these are my top recommendations.

The Late Talker This is a great book to start with, helps with understanding apraxia and reads easy, not like a medical textbook. One of the few newer books on apraxia available, gives great advice on getting the right diagnois, working with your school and therapists and mostly giving hope.

My Brother is Very Special This wonderful children's book teaches other kids about apraxia. Use this tool to help siblings, classmates, cousins and friends learn about apraxia. It was written by a mother of an apraxic child.

The LCP SolutionThis is a great reference book for using fish oil supplements that help with many different brain disorders. Explains the process of how fish oil works in much more detail than space allows here at this website.

This book was recommended to me by a occupational therapist, has some good practical advice and exercises. Children with apraxia may have other motor skill issues as my daughter was delayed in her fine motor skills.

Mother Warriors by Jenny McCarthy. Even though this book and her previous book have caused a lot of controversy, I still recommend it as it spoke to me as a mother who is willing to do what it takes for the best possible outcome for your child. With a special needs child you do become an advocate for them - a Mother Warrior.

Kid Cooperation This is my favorite parenting book, offers practical solutions to common behavior problems, great for all kids. Apply her solutions to end whining, fighting and bring peace to your household. Parenting "normal children" is hard enough, now add in a child who can't communicate and it adds in additional challenges.
