House Resolution No. by Representative Hebert designates May 14, 2025, as Apraxia Awareness Day at the Louisiana state capitol. The resolution highlights childhood apraxia of speech (CAS), a motor speech disorder affecting approximately one in one thousand children, which is often misdiagnosed due to its rarity. It emphasizes the need for intensive speech therapy focused on motor learning principles, as well as the challenges families face in finding qualified professionals for diagnosis and treatment. CAS can occur alongside other communication disorders, making awareness and support crucial.

The resolution also recognizes the efforts of Apraxia Kids, a nonprofit organization dedicated to enhancing support systems for children with apraxia, ensuring they have the best opportunities for speech and communication development. By designating this day, the House of Representatives encourages all Louisianians to support initiatives that assist children with communication disorders, fostering greater awareness and understanding of CAS within the community.
