Apraxia Kids needs your help raising public awareness about childhood apraxia of speech. Join our efforts to highlight how apraxia affects individuals and families in your community by filing a proclamation recognizing May 14 as Apraxia Awareness Day.
Our goal is to file proclamations in all 50 U.S. states, all 10 Canadian provinces, and beyond—and your help can make that possible!
A proclamation is a public or official announcement recognizing an initiative or observance. They are signed and issued by federal officials, governors, state legislators, mayors, or other local government representatives – and must be filed annually.
