Why I walk for Apraxia Kids!
Childhood apraxia of speech is one of those diagnoses that can feel really isolating for families. It is complex, it is often misunderstood, and finding the right support takes time and persistence. That is exactly why events like this one matter so much.
I walk because awareness changes things. The more people who understand what CAS is, the faster kids get diagnosed, the sooner families find good resources, and the less alone they feel along the way. Community is one of the most powerful things we can offer the families navigating this.
I am an SLP at The Madison Center, a nonprofit built around supporting children with Apraxia since 2004. I have spent my career working with kids with apraxia and I believe deeply in what this community does together. Walking is one small way to be part of something bigger.
If you can donate, please do. And if you know a family affected by CAS, share this with them. The more the merrier!
