Helping kids with a speech disorder enjoy the camp experience

Eight children, all of whom have apraxia - a disorder affecting the production of speech, are enjoying the first camp of its kind in Calgary this summer. The idea for the camp was initiated by the mother of one of the campers who felt her son did not benefit from regular camp attendance last summer.  The camp is not therapy-based, but provides these campers a space to learn and play among others like them, and where their speech disorder is considered and supported.
