I'm Alonna Bondar
I've been a pediatric speech language pathologist for 27 years, and I've never stopped learning.
I'm PROMPT certified, DTTC trained, and listed on the Apraxia Kids directory. This work continues to energize and excite me every day!
Over the years I have worked with countless clients with CAS and trained hundreds of SLPs. So many courses and trainings only give you the "why" without teaching the "how." That's why I created "Your Apraxia Framework." This course is easy to understand, engaging, and fully prepares you to work with CAS clients.

"Even after years of practicing as an SLP, I found this apraxia course exceptionally valuable. I regularly return to the course when working with a new client with apraxia, and it has become an indispensable resource. I highly recommend it to both new and experienced SLPs looking for actionable guidance they can use right away"
Suzanne Aldrich - SLP
"The title of this course could not be more appropriate. Alonna has done a fantastic job of walking you through everything you need to know to ACTUALLY work with children who have CAS. She covers all aspects of CAS intervention - from assessment and identification to treatment and carryover! I have never taken such a comprehensive course on apraxia - and I have taken a lot of courses! I really love how she included SO MANY videos of actual therapy, so you can see what CAS therapy looks like."
Deena Livshits - SLP
“Alonna has an incredible ability to present information in a way that is engaging, practical, and easy to apply. This course was packed with valuable knowledge, creative therapy ideas, realistic intervention strategies, and a wide range of techniques for addressing the complex needs of children with apraxia.
I walked away with so many new ideas and strategies that I immediately began incorporating into my work with my own clients. Alonna’s creativity, clinical insight, and flexible approach to therapy gave me a completely new perspective and greatly expanded my therapeutic toolbox. This course was comprehensive, inspiring, and incredibly worthwhile. I can’t recommend it enough!”
