My boyfriends daughter has a mild form of apraxia, and we are looking to get her some fun reading books or sing along songs dvd/cd's that have clear voices. Any help for finding information like this would be great. Serious replies only.

When I was treating apraxic preschoolers, I used books with lots of vowel sounds (farm animal books are good). We progressed to books like "Mig the Pig", which contains rhymes of the easiest and most developmentally appropriate consonants.
Disney has wonderful sing-along CDs that are age-appropriate. Music provides an opportunity to work on the cadence patterns found in speech. Singing opens the vocal tract and prolongs vowels, allowing the child to extra time to produce consonants. Kids also love to mimic anything, especially nonsense syllables. Do lots of "fun in the bathroom mirror". Make faces and funny sounds. This gets the child to try new things without the pressure of real words.

My son has verbal dyspraxia. Feel free to email me. I can share my experiences with you. It has been a long hard struggle. But I love my son and we have done a lot to help him talk as well as he talks now. Head Start has really made a difference.
