Apraxia of speech is a severe neurological motor planning disorder that affects childrens’ speech and general movement. Apraxia makes it difficult or impossible for children to accurately produce sounds, syllables and/or words despite having a good understanding of language. These children must undergo hundreds of hours of speech, occupational and physical therapy over many years, without which they may never become verbal communicators and reach their full potential.
