What are the Symptoms of Speech Apraxia?
Children with developmental apraxia of speech generally understand language much better than they are able to use words to express themselves. Some children with the disorder may also have other problems. These can include additional speech problems, such as dysarthria; language problems such as poor vocabulary, incorrect grammar, and difficulty in clearly organizing spoken information; problems with reading, writing, spelling, or math; coordination or motor-skill problems; and chewing and swallowing difficulties.
