Talking Speech Apraxia Podcast
About the podcast
Talking Speech Apraxia is an international speech, language and communication podcast produced by Speech Apraxia International, founded by speech and language therapist Ruth Pepper. The podcast explores the science of speech apraxia, communication disorders, emerging research and the lived experiences of individuals and families affected by communication difficulties.
Through accessible conversations with leading researchers, clinicians, specialists and families, the podcast makes complex scientific and clinical information understandable to a worldwide audience. It aims to bridge the gap between academic research, clinical practice and everyday experiences.
Origins and purpose
Talking Speech Apraxia was developed as part of Speech Apraxia International's commitment to improving awareness, education and access to reliable information about speech apraxia.
The podcast brings together professional expertise and personal experiences, recognising that understanding communication disorders requires both scientific evidence and the voices of people living with them.
Its central aim is to make research accessible, encourage informed discussion and challenge misconceptions surrounding speech and communication.
Topics and format
The podcast explores childhood apraxia of speech (CAS), acquired apraxia of speech, motor speech disorders, communication development and related neurological and genetic conditions.
Episodes feature conversations with international experts, researchers, speech and language therapists, parents and individuals with lived experience.
Topics include:
