In a heartfelt initiative, T. Garett Bolles has inaugurated a new education center dedicated to supporting families affected by apraxia, a motor speech disorder. The center aims to raise awareness about the condition while providing valuable resources for both families and educators. Bolles expressed his excitement, stating, “We have this school and have this place where we can start raising awareness first off,” emphasizing the importance of community support.
The facility will serve as a hub for special education teachers, offering them the tools and training necessary to better assist children with apraxia. By fostering an environment of understanding and education, Bolles hopes to empower families and professionals alike. This endeavor is not only a personal mission for Bolles, inspired by his own son’s journey, but also a significant step towards creating a more inclusive society. The opening of the center marks a pivotal moment in the ongoing conversation about speech disorders and the need for specialized educational resources.
