Guest guest Posted January 12, 2002 Report Share Posted January 12, 2002 Hello everyone, I have a question about my son Jack who is 2 1/2 with oral apraxia. Now that he is using more words about 3-4 word sentences 4 when prompted, I notice he will say something for example instead of saying " Mama, eat more cheese " he will say " Mama Dada Mama Mama Dada Dada eat cheese. " Even when my husband is not around he will say Dada and sometimes he will call me Dada like 3-4 times before he says Mama. He will also do this with other words other than Mama and Dada. He will repeat the word many times but mostly does this with mama and dada. It is almost as if he has a stutter but the articulation of the word does not change. It is kind of hard to explain but hopefully I have made my ? clear. Is this how apraxia effects actual speech. This maybe a silly question but like I said I am new to hearing him talk and haven't really dealt with the other effects of apraxia. Thanks Eileen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
