These sites focus on apraxia in children, a neurologically-based speech disorder that interferes with a child's ability to pronounce sounds, syllables and words. This disorder is also known as developmental verbal dyspraxia (DVD), developmental apraxia of speech (DAS), and oral motor planning disorder.

Late Talker vs. Apraxia
The home of the CHERAB Foundation, this website is "for anyone who cares for a child that has delayed speech, a speech disorder, or is a late talker, etc., as well as for those who care for a child that has a received a diagnosis of 'apraxia.'" The Foundation focuses on the importance of obtaining a medical diagnosis for apraxia (as opposed to that of a speech/language pathologist), and of receiving early intervention for all kinds of speech delays. While the website is a bit busy and self-promotional, it has lots of useful information for parents.
