Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what plans his Department has to mark Verbal Dyspraxia Awareness Day on 14 May 2022.

Verbal Dyspraxia Awareness Day on 14 May 2022 was an important opportunity to raise awareness of this condition.

The department is committed to ensuring that all children and young people with special education needs and disabilities (SEND), including those with speech and language needs, receive the support they need to succeed in their education.

On 29 March 2022, we published the SEND and AP green paper, which sets out our plans to create a coherent education, health and care system that works for all children and young people with SEND in England. We have launched a full, accessible consultation on these proposals so that everyone can have their say.
