The resolution designates May of each year as Apraxia Awareness Month in New Jersey to raise awareness about apraxia, a neurological disorder that affects motor planning and impairs an individual's ability to perform voluntary movements. Apraxia can manifest in various forms, impacting tasks such as speaking, walking, and daily living activities like eating and dressing. It may be present from birth or develop later due to conditions like stroke, dementia, or brain injuries. The severity of the disorder varies, with some individuals requiring long-term care, and it can also affect mental and emotional well-being, leading to issues like low self-esteem and depression.

To promote understanding and support for those affected by apraxia, the resolution calls for the Governor to issue an annual proclamation recognizing May as Apraxia Awareness Month. It encourages state agencies, organizations, and citizens to engage in awareness activities and programs throughout the month. By increasing awareness, the resolution aims to ensure that individuals seek appropriate medical care, receive timely diagnoses, and access therapeutic treatments that can enhance their quality of life.
