Apraxia of Speech
Apraxia of Speech is a motor speech disorder that affects a person's ability to plan and coordinate the movements needed for speech. Individuals with this condition know what they want to say but struggle to produce the correct sounds, syllables, and words. This can lead to inconsistent speech errors and difficulty with articulation.
The disorder can result from brain injury, stroke, or neurological conditions, impacting the areas of the brain responsible for speech production. Treatment often involves speech therapy, where therapists help patients practice and improve their speech skills through targeted exercises and techniques.
