3. Speech Therapy
Apraxia can be the result of a genetic problem that a child is born with or it can be developed later on in life if someone suffers from a stroke or a brain injury.
In the former case, a child may never have developed regular speech abilities, whereas, with the latter situation, a person may have spoken normally all of their lives only to find that they suddenly are not able to pronounce words the way they once did.
Regardless of how apraxia appeared or developed, speech therapy is useful in improving one’s skills and enabling people with apraxia to speak to the best of their abilities.
Some people can experience dramatic improvement with speech therapy to the point where any trace of apraxia may disappear in a matter of months or years whereas others may make modest but consistent improvements or at least find ways to compensate for speech issues.
