Childhood Apraxia of Speech
Meet the 1 in 1000
Here is where we proudly feature children from across Arkansas who are living with Childhood Apraxia of Speech.
We call them our 1 in 1,000 — not just because of the rarity of the diagnosis, but because of the courage, determination, and spirit each child shows in their journey to be understood.
Each story is a reminder that even rare conditions deserve bold advocacy — and that with the right support, every child can find their voice.
Share Your Story
Every child with Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS) is a story worth telling — and every family’s journey adds to our collective strength.
If you see your child in the stories above, or if your experience feels like a puzzle others might learn from, we invite you to add your voice. By filling out our Parent Story Questionnaire, you can help shine a light on what CAS looks like in real life — the early signs, the everyday victories, the challenges, and the hope.
Your story can remain confidential, or you can choose to be featured on our “1 in 1000” page or even be a guest on the One Voice Arkansas podcast. However you choose to share, know that your voice matters — and it might be exactly what another parent needs to hear.
Together, we are creating a community of awareness, support, and strength — one story at a time.
