Why I walk for Apraxia Kids!

As some of you may know, I (Brandie Herron) am an SLP at Sutter Park Preschool in Wrthington City Schools. My 4 year old son, Calvin also has Childhood Apraxia of Speech and attends Sutter Park (oh, the irony!!) Given both of these aspects, I truly appreaciate the importance of specilized treatment for our kiddos with CAS and the need for continued and ever evolving resarch in the area! I am walking to support my son, other children with CAS and the SLPs who support them to provide the best treatment possible!

I walk to support all children diagnosed with apraxia of speech - our Apraxia Stars. To show these children they are not alone and to acknowledge all the hard work they must do to overcome communication challenges that affect their day-to-day lives.  

I walk to raise funds for the mission of Apraxia Kids – to strengthen the support systems in the lives of children with apraxia of speech by educating professionals and families; facilitating community engagement and outreach; and investing in the future through advocacy and research.

Please help me meet my fundraising goal by making a donation now or by joining our team.  You, too, can make an impact for children and families affected by apraxia!

I believe, “Every child deserves a voice”.
