South Metro Atlanta Apraxia Network Formed in 2001, our mission is to provide education, information and support to families, speech-language pathologists, educators and others from the Atlanta area about apraxia of speech in children. The Network meetings are held at Fayette Community Hospital in Fayette and we  are grateful for the invaluable assistance and support from the hospital staff. Many speakers are planned for this year on a variety  of related topics.
