Apraxiasol: Intensive Therapy for Childhood Apraxia of Speech in Argentina-Gabriela Drozina
is episode, Gabriela Drozina, speech and language therapist and specialist in Childhood Apraxia of Speech in Buenos Aires, Argentina, talks about the development of Apraxiasol®, her intensive intervention programme for children with Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS) and severe speech sound disorders.
Gabriela discusses how the programme brings children together for intensive, highly focused speech intervention, while maintaining a playful and motivating environment. She explains how Apraxiasol combines principles of motor learning and DTTC (Dynamic Temporal and Tactile Cueing) with active parent involvement, elements of the Hanen approach and a child-centred environment influenced by Montessori principles.
The conversation explores why therapy intensity and repeated opportunities to practise speech movements can be particularly important for children with CAS, and how intensive programmes can be made engaging and enjoyable rather than feeling like continuous therapy.

All children should have access to literacy with Chantal Bryan OBE
Chantal Bryan OBE, is the co-founder of the UK charity Teach Us Too (https://www.teachustoo.org.uk/meet-the-team). In this thought provoking podcast she describes how she advocates for the right of every child, including those who are non-verbal or have complex disabilities, to learn to read and write. She campaigns to end educational labels and unlock children's voices.
Chantal's work is inspired by her son, Jonathan. When Jonathan was a child, a special school did not teach him literacy. Chantal took matters into her own hands and taught him herself. He learned to spell, communicate, and went on to study creative writing at university.
