Motor Speech Disorders (Apraxia)

Children with motor speech disorders (apraxia) have trouble saying what they want to say correctly and consistently.  Children with this disorder have difficulty in planning and coordinating the movements for accurate speech production, may show groping behaviors, and errors in speech tone, prosody, and stress (ASHA, 2025).  

​

For Example:

Child Word Target: "butterfly"

Child Word Production: 1st: budderfy

                                         2nd: buterdy

                                        3rd: bullerty
