Re: Dyspraxia and apraxia?

[Guest guest]

Dear Alison,

Dyspraxia is " some speech ability " and Apraxia is

" absence of speech " although some people use them

interchangably my son was diagnosed by 2 slp's one in

july of " 01 " and the other in sept. " 01 " they both

said oral apraxia. When the first slp saw him he had a

few sounds but when the second one saw him she also

said apraxia he had 10 words, then after pro-efa and

he started talking his slp form EI, said it is not

apraxia but dyspraxia. THe point was he has a motor

planning problem no matter how you say it.

Hope this answers your question
