Bill Summary
Recognizing May 2025, as Apraxia Awareness Month in the State of New York
AI Summary
This resolution recognizes May 2025 as Apraxia Awareness Month in New York State, drawing attention to Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS), a rare neurological speech disorder affecting approximately 1 in 1,000 children. The resolution highlights that children with CAS understand language but struggle to coordinate the precise movements needed for speech, and emphasizes the importance of early diagnosis and intervention by Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) to help these children develop communication skills. The resolution aims to raise public awareness about CAS, encourage community support, and celebrate the strength and resilience of children with this condition. It calls on workplaces, schools, and communities to wear blue and organize events promoting understanding and inclusion during May, and officially recognizes the challenges and achievements of children with Childhood Apraxia of Speech. The resolution also directs that a copy be transmitted to the Robert Warner Center for Developmental Pediatrics and Rehabilitation at John R. Oishei Children's Hospital, symbolizing the medical community's role in supporting these children.
