On October 11, 2025 there will be a walk for children with apraxia of speech (CAS) at St Peter’s church of Middletown, PA. The event begins at 11:30 a.m. Registration is free and opens to all members of the community.
Get your steps in, meet new friends, walk for a cause, have some fun.
Childhood apraxia of speech is a rare motor speech disorder that makes it difficult for an individual to speak. Treatment includes intense speech therapy and sometimes other therapies to help an individual reach their highest communication ability, but there is no cure. Raising awareness is one of the most tangible ways that communities at large can help children with apraxia thrive. Increased collective awareness means that children will be diagnosed faster resulting in better and earlier intervention.
The funds raised through the 2025 Walk for Apraxia benefit Apraxia Kids, the leading nonprofit that works to strengthen the support systems in the lives of children with childhood apraxia of speech. This organization educates both families and speech-language professionals so that children with CAS can reach their highest communication potential through accurate diagnosis and appropriate, timely treatment.
