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. Apraxia can manifest in various forms, such as ideomotor, ideational, limb-kinetic, speech, and gait apraxia, and may be present at birth or develop later due to conditions like stroke, dementia, or brain injuries. The severity of the disorder can vary, impacting daily living activities and potentially requiring long-term care. While there is no cure, therapies can help individuals manage symptoms and improve their quality of life.

The resolution 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. By increasing awareness, the resolution aims to ensure that individuals with apraxia receive timely medical care, accurate diagnoses, and effective therapeutic treatments, ultimately enhancing their independence and well-being.
