I cannot believe it is already December 31, 2015! Where did 2015 go? I was looking at the top 10 posts on our Little Sprout Speech blog and wanted to share them with you. They mostly center around autism. There are a few related to apraxia, potty training, popular apps, popular children’s books, and IEP meetings. You all sure do love IEP meetings, don’t ya? 😉
Anyways, here there are for you to enjoy again!
