Apraxia of speech and speech therapy at Expressable

Understanding apraxia of speech

Apraxia of speech is a motor speech disorder that affects the ability to coordinate the movements needed to speak. The brain knows what it wants to say, but the muscles struggle to follow through. This can make speech difficult, inconsistent, and frustrating. Whether affecting children or adults, apraxia can improve with the right therapy.

Causes of apraxia

Apraxia can occur in both children and adults. In children, it’s often developmental, meaning it’s present from birth. In adults, it may result from a brain injury, stroke, or other neurological conditions. Regardless of the cause, speech therapy offers strategies to improve speech coordination and clarity.

Symptoms of apraxia

Individuals with apraxia may struggle to form words correctly, with inconsistent speech patterns or difficulty moving from one sound to another. Speech might be effortful, with long pauses between words or syllables. These speech challenges can affect communication in daily life, but targeted speech therapy can help reduce frustration.

Why early intervention matters

While progress with apraxia can take time, starting speech therapy early can make a big difference. The earlier someone with apraxia begins working on speech coordination, the greater their potential for improvement. Speech therapy helps individuals develop the tools they need to communicate more clearly and confidently.
