Oh my goodness this was so helpful, I have childhood apraxia of speech and recently I’ve wanted to learn more about it as it is becoming a more prevalent issue and this video was amazing! I just have one question, can people with apraxia of speech find it more difficult to speak when in a high-stress situation? Thank you! ❤😊

Hi Frank, so glad you found this video helpful! Apraxia of speech is difficulty with motor planning--meaning the messages from the brain to the speech mechanism are inhibited. When we consider "high-stress situations," there is always a possibility that a communicator may have more challenges--even the most proficient communicator. So yes, this is possible, since people with apraxia may not feel as confident about the effectiveness of their communication attempts. Each person with apraxia presents differently and with different challenges and strengths. An SLP can help people navigate these moments and increase their communication confidence in all situations!

Is it true that apraxic people my say a word that he doesn't want to say? Like he would say that this is yellow when he wants to say it's red? Is it true that an apraxic kid would point to the wrong object inspite of him wanting to point to another because he cannot control his muscles?
