Resources About Apraxia

Developmental apraxia of speech is also referred to as developmental verbal dyspraxia . There is generally no detectable physical cause for the condition. Children with apraxia respond well to therapy techniques like those used for adults who have adult-onset ( acquired ) apraxia (due to a stroke or other incident of anoxia ).
