Walk for Apraxia

Thank You, Westview!

The Walk for Apraxia is an annual event that allows children with apraxia a time to shine and be celebrated for the hard work and countless hours of therapy it takes for them to find their voice. It also allows families throughout the Houston community to be among other families walking the same journey. The Westview School embodies the philosophy of caring for the whole child and supporting each family. And in that spirit, the school has hosted the walk for three years, quadrupling the funds raised, families in attendance, and Apraxia Stars recognized! While the walk itself is a celebration, the funds raised go towards educating professionals and families, facilitating community engagement and outreach, and funding research. Not only has Westview opened the doors of the school at no charge, but it provided tables, chairs, games, and volunteers that helped make the walk such a success! I am forever grateful to have been a part of the school, and no words can express my appreciation for what they are doing for these children trying to find their voice!
