Cherab Foundation is a small, grass roots nonprofit for children with neurological or genetic impairments that affect communication with a focus on autism and the rare orphan diagnosis apraxia.

By Marilyn Agin MD, Lisa Geng, and Malcolm J. Nicholl
The first book to show parents how to tell whether a child has a speech delay or a more serious speech disorder.

Balanced with a mother”s perspective and an acclaimed doctor”s experience, this book gives parents needed guidance on:
The warning signs of a serious speech disorder

Negotiating with school boards, teachers, and service providers
Exercises to do at home with a child.
