314. Diving Deeper: Motor Planning, Apraxia, & More

Last week, we heard from motor planning expert, Brooke Poston, so today the three of us are diving deep into our experiences of apraxia with our own children! Here’s what we’re chatting about:

  • When are children aren’t cooperating, is it actually a behavior problem or an apraxia challenge? Do they need ABA therapy or motor coaching?

  • How can we implement these motor planning techniques all day every day?

  • Knowing what we know now, how can we offer more grace to our children when they appear dysregulated and/or uncooperative?

Make sure you listen to last week’s episode with Brooke first so you understand the basics of motor planning and apraxia before we dive into our personal examples!
