2024 Western New York Walk for Apraxia

Buffalo State NSSLHA

Do you believe that every child deserves a voice? We do— and we invite you to join our team at the Walk for Apraxia.

Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS) is a rare speech disorder that makes it difficult for kids to say sounds, syllables, and words. These children know what they want to say, but their brains have trouble coordinating the movements needed for speech. With the right therapy, kids with CAS can make incredible progress— but that therapy is specialized and often expensive.

This year, NSSLHA (National Student Speech Language Hearing Association) at Buffalo State University is taking action! As future speech-language pathologists, we’re passionate about helping kids with speech disorders like CAS. We’re hosting a fundraiser to raise awareness and support for these kids and their families, and we need your help!

By joining our team, you will walk beside us as we celebrate all the Apraxia Stars and support our efforts to raise funds for Apraxia Kids. Unable to walk? That’s okay! You can still help our team meet our fundraising goal by making a donation now. Your donation will enable Apraxia Kids to continue strengthening the support systems in the lives of children with CAS by educating professionals and families, facilitating community engagement and outreach, and investing in the future through advocacy and research.

Every donation makes a real difference. Together, we can help kids find their voices and communicate with confidence.

Thanks for supporting us and helping these kids get the services they need!

Sincerely,
The NSSLHA Team 
Buffalo State University
