Young Able Voices serves as a  safe place for kids that have hidden disabilities to connect with each other to share personal experienceses knowing they aren't alone and unheard.

I know when I was younger I would have loved to have a place to come and chat with others that were experiencing similar challenges as I am.   At first, I didn't mind being the only one with Childhood Apraxia of Speech,  I kind of thought, "hey this makes me unique." However, as I grew older I got more frustrated as my friends and family didn't understand what my struggle was like.  No one understood how it felt to not be able to say what I wanted or when sounds that I had practiced hundreds of times came out wrong. It was terribly frustrating.  It is my most sincere hope that Young Able Voices finds its way into children's lives and that it will make a very important difference for them.
