Cherab Foundation initiated and hosted the First Apraxia Conference and still assists with conferences to help and raise awareness about our children with communication challanges today.  Check our partner site Speechville.com for upcoming events. 

Cherab Foundation grew quickly from a grass roots support group with free monthly meetings with well known medical, speech, or educational professionals hosted at both the Children's Specialized Hospital in Mountainside, New Jersey, and St. Barnanbas Ambulatory Center for over three years.

Cherab Foundation monthly meetings had members that flew in -or drove for up to six hours one way just to atttend!

Cherab Foundation monthly meetings had an average of 70 to 100 members (room size limit) per meeting!!  All of this making

Cherab Foundation the largest grass-roots support source for communication help anywhere in the world.   Check some of the CHERAB support meetings and events archives or for more information on current happenings -visit our partner Speechville.com to find local meetings and events in your area.
