Speak Up for Children With Apraxia Fundraiser
Come join The Apraxia Connection, a 501c3 non profit as we celebrate National Apraxia Awareness Day!
Apraxia of speech is a severe neurological motor planning disorder that
affects childrens’ speech and general movement. Apraxia makes it difficult or
impossible for children to accurately produce sounds, syllables and/or words
despite having a good understanding of language. These children must
undergo hundreds of hours of speech, occupational and physical therapy
over many years, without which they may never become verbal
communicators and reach their full potential.
