Bill > SR103

This resolution aims to raise awareness about childhood apraxia of speech, a complex neurological disorder that makes it difficult for children to produce sounds, syllables, or words despite understanding language. The resolution acknowledges that apraxia is a challenging condition with no known cause or cure, and highlights that the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association has noted an increasing number of diagnoses. The Senate seeks to draw attention to the importance of early intervention and intensive treatment, which can significantly improve speech development for affected children. By passing this resolution, the Pennsylvania Senate intends to give a voice to individuals diagnosed with apraxia, increase public understanding of the disorder, and work to strengthen support systems that can help children with apraxia have the best possible opportunity to develop their speech skills.
