Every Day is a New Beginning
Apraxia is…
a severe neurological disorder which controls the input from the brain to the oral motor muscles which provides speech. It is like having a loose wire or connection in the brain,and is a very frustrating disorder for the child and parents going through it. The children cannot produce the correct sounds to verbally make themselves understood. Children with Apraxia may have learning problems also.
