Why we walk for Apraxia Kids!

We walk for our son Julian . Walk day is a chance to celebrate the efforts, persistence, and resilience of children with Apraxia. On their special day, children with apraxia get a chance to shine brightly - our shining stars.

 Julian was diagnosed with Apraxia of Speech at the age of 3. For those who don't know, Apraxia is a motor speech disorder where his brain has problems planning to move the body parts needed for speech. He knows exactly what he wants to say but unfortunately is not always able to speak it.

This is a daily struggle for him and sometimes easily forgotten how hard it really is. Julian does speech therapy twice a week and has come so far over the years and I could not be any prouder of his progress. 

We hope you join our team and come out to celebrate Julian and all the other boys and girls on this special day!

We believe, “Every child deserves a voice”.
