Apraxia Awareness Day...
What is Apraxia???
Childhood apraxia of speech (CAS) is a very misunderstood and very challenging speech disorder that affects nearly 1-in-1,000 children. Without intensive and appropriate speech therapy, children with CAS will not learn to speak. Going into its seventh year internationally, Apraxia Awareness Day aims to unite these children and their friends and family with community members to be an unstoppable, united force advocating and raising awareness about CAS on May 14th.
Children with CAS, their families and the Speech Language Pathologists working with them all need your help. By issuing this announcement you will not only be showing that you support all of your listeners, but you will also help raise awareness for the most severe speech disorder. We hope you will issue an announcement to help us further the cause of raising awareness so we can better advocate for these children on their journey of learning to use their own voice.
Apraxia Kids is the leading nonprofit that strengthens the support systems in the lives of children with apraxia of speech. Please visit www.apraxia-kids.org for more information.
