The resolution designates May of each year as Apraxia Awareness Month in New Jersey, aiming to raise awareness about apraxia, a neurological disorder that impairs motor planning and affects an individual's ability to perform voluntary movements. This condition can manifest in various forms, such as ideomotor, ideational, and limb-kinetic apraxia, as well as speech and gait apraxia. Apraxia can be present from birth or develop later due to factors like stroke, dementia, or brain injuries, and its severity can vary significantly, impacting daily living activities and overall quality of life.

The resolution emphasizes the importance of increasing awareness of apraxia to ensure timely medical care, accurate diagnosis, and access to therapeutic treatments that can enhance the independence and well-being of affected individuals. It calls for the Governor to issue an annual proclamation recognizing May as Apraxia Awareness Month and encourages state agencies, organizations, and citizens to engage in awareness activities and programs throughout the month.
