Pieces of the Puzzle
- Apraxia Kids has partnered with Penn State Health to share and distribute the Speech and Language Apps Guide published by the Department of Behavior and Developmental Pediatrics at Penn State Hershey Medical Center. Note: Apraxia Kids does not endorse any specific apps nor is the list all-inclusive. The directory is meant only to be a guide/resource.
