Apraxia of speech therapy
Speech & language therapy
Retraining the brain's planning of speech movements, when the muscles themselves work fine.
What it is
Apraxia of speech is a planning problem: the message and muscles are intact, but organising the movements for speech is hard.
Approaches
Practice is slow, deliberate, and repetitive.
- Repeated, structured sound and word practice
- Rhythm and melody to support planning
- Watching a mouth or mirror for feedback
