Walk for Apraxia, Saturday, September 28 at 9:30
e-mail: tigers03813@hotmail.com
SEPTEMBER WALK WILL RAISE AWARENESS FOR CHILDREN WITH APRAXIA
Valdosta Walk
for Children with Apraxia of Speech
Childhood
Apraxia of Speech (CAS) is a very challenging and complicated neurological
speech disorder in children. This little
known disorder makes it difficult or impossible for children to accurately
produce sounds, syllables, and/or words despite having a good understanding of
language. The Walk for Children with
Apraxia of Speech® is held as a means to heighten awareness and funding.
VALDOSTA, GA– (AUGUST 28, 2013) – Amber
Seigler of Lakeland is coordinating the “Aaron’s Voice” Southern Georgia Walk for Children with Apraxia of Speech event on Saturday, September 28 at Valdosta
Middle School. Ms. Seigler has planned
the walk to honor her son Aaron, who has apraxia. To date, over $2,000 has been
raised. All proceeds will benefit
important apraxia programs and research of the Childhood Apraxia of Speech
Association of North America (CASANA).
“After many late nights spent researching online, our son’s speech
therapist first mentioned the word 'Apraxia' and how our son could possibly
have it. While researching “Apraxia,” Grandma found CASANA’s web page which
helped us learn so much about it. While
our goal to raise funds for apraxia programs and research and raise apraxia
awareness, most of all, we just hope we can have lots of fun and make some new
friends,” says Ms. Seigler.
The Southern Georgia Walk for Children with Apraxia of
Speech is
open to all adults and children. On-site
registration and check-in on September 28th begins at 9:30 AM, with children’s
activities at 10:00 AM and the Walk starting at 11:00 AM. Anyone interested in registering,
making a donation, or learning more about the event can contact tigers03813@hotmail.com
or
visit the event website at http://secure.apraxia-kids.org/southerngawalk.
About CASANA
The Childhood Apraxia of Speech
Association of North America (CASANA), based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and
founded in 2000, is the only national 501(c)3 non-profit public charity
exclusively dedicated to the needs and interests of children with apraxia of
speech and their families. CASANA’s mission is to improve the systems of
support in the lives of children with apraxia so that each child is afforded
their best opportunity to develop speech.
CASANA supports this mission by promoting awareness through Walks held
all over North America; providing high quality information and support through the
Apraxia-KIDS website and online communities; conducting multiple educational events;
and funding apraxia research. For more

New MOPS group coming to Valdosta, Trinity Presbyterian.
Dear young mothers of children 5 and under,
If you are a stay at home mother I highly recommend getting involved in a MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) group. Luckily it appears that our area has several to choose from. 10 years ago when my first child was an infant, I was a stay at home mom, struggling in more ways than one. I joined a MOPS group and it changed my life. I actually have several friends that have remained dear friends to me from those early days of infancy, toddler & preschool years! Another life saver in those early days for me was MMO (Mothers Morning Out, and luckily several churches in our area offer those as well - just check the left hand tab!)
I wish this new MOPS group the best!
Trinity Presbyterian. We meet the 1st and 3rd Fridays of the month from 9am-11am. For more information they can contact the church. The number is (229) 242-3468 and the address is 3501 Bemiss Rd, Valdosta, GA 31605. Our first meeting is this Friday, September 6.
