Apraxia Awareness Day is observed worldwide every May 14 during Apraxia Awareness Month. It was created in Canada to increase awareness of childhood apraxia of speech (CAS), a rare motor speech disorder that affects less than 1% of children. The day aims to combat misconceptions about CAS and provide resources and support for families affected by the disorder. Activities include sharing information about CAS, participating in seminars and events hosted by organizations promoting apraxia awareness, and using the hashtag #ApraxiaAwarenessDay on social media. The first observance took place on May 14, 2012, and has since evolved into an international campaign supported by various organizations.
