Apraxia is a motor planning disorder where the brain struggles to coordinate the movements for speech. It is often seen after stroke or brain injury.
Concerns:
- Inconsistent speech errors; difficulty sequencing sounds; groping movements of the mouth.
- Automatic speech (e.g., counting) may be more accurate than spontaneous speech.
- Difficulty initiating speech or pronouncing longer words.
- Frustration due to mismatched intent and output.
How We Can Help:
- Repetitive speech practice focusing on correct sound sequencing.
- Visual and tactile cues to guide speech production.
- Gradual progression from single sounds to phrases and conversation.
