Run to Support Children with CAS

We invite you to use your talents as a runner to help spread awareness about childhood apraxia of speech and raise funds to support the mission of Apraxia Kids. When joining a running event in your area - including a marathon, 15K, 10K, 5K, or a fun run - make it your mission to run in honor of someone affected by CAS.

Childhood Apraxia of Speech affects 1 in 1000 Children

Childhood apraxia of speech (CAS) is a motor speech disorder that makes it difficult for children to speak. Children with CAS generally have a good understanding of language and know what they want to say, but have difficulty learning or carrying out the complex sequenced movements that are necessary for intelligible speech.

Since 2000, Apraxia Kids has been the leading nonprofit that strengthens the support systems in the lives of children with apraxia of speech by educating professionals and families; facilitating community engagement and outreach; and investing in the future through advocacy and research. We visualize a world where every child with apraxia of speech reaches their highest communication potential through accurate diagnosis and appropriate timely treatment. Every child deserves a voice.
