A great way to raise Awareness of Apraxia this month is by an awareness frame.

Mikey has very kindly offered to do awareness frames, just ask, and send a photo to @mikeys-wish.bsky.social

It would be just Amazing to see lots of blue Apraxia frames on social media this month. 💙

#Language is our ability to understand & express ourselves using vocabulary & grammar.

In some rare genetic conditions, like Phelan-McDermid syndrome, the size of an individual’s genetic deletions correlates with their language ability.
