Childhood apraxia of speech (CAS) is a rare motor speech disorder that makes it difficult for children to speak. Children with CAS often have a good understanding of language and know what they want to say, but have difficulty learning or carrying out the complex sequenced movements that are necessary for intelligible speech. At the Walk for Apraxia, we gather to celebrate the achievements of our Apraxia Stars, and to raise funds to support the programs that help our Stars shine. The Walk for Apraxia sustains educational opportunities, awareness, financial aid, support for research, and much more. By joining the Walk, you are making our apraxia community tighter, stronger, and ready for the road ahead. The Walk includes activities for kids and families, a ceremony to celebrate Apraxia Stars (children with childhood apraxia of speech) with a medal and certificate, and a 1-mile walk around the park. Registration for the event is FREE! We encourage you to register today and invite your network to do the same. Also, if you raise $50 by August 24th, you’ll get a T-Shirt on Walk Day!
