Thursday, May 14th is Apraxia Awareness Day! Speech apraxia is a neurological motor speech disorder where the brain struggles to plan and sequence the muscle movements needed for speech. Individuals know what they want to say, but the message from the brain to the mouth is interrupted, causing inconsistent errors, groping for sounds, and slow speech rates.
Students are invited to show their support on Thursday, by wearing blue shirts with regular uniform bottoms.
