Apraxia Awareness

May 14, 2026

Apraxia of Speech is a rare neurological disorder that makes it difficult for Children & Adults to plan and coordinate the muscle movements needed for speech. It’s not about intelligence or willingness to speak—it’s about the brain struggling to send the right signals to the mouth. On 14th May, communities around the world unite to shine a light on apraxia, celebrate the strength of those living with it, and call for greater understanding, support, and research. This day matters because awareness leads to earlier diagnosis, better resources, and a stronger voice for children & Adults who work tirelessly to be heard.
