We just came back from another evaluation and it looks like my insurance is

going to pay for 1 hour long session per week!  She gave my son a diagnosis of

Aphasia.  Is that the same as Apraxia?  I looked it up a little but I found some

site where it says they are pretty much the same and some sites that say they

are very different.

[Guest guest]

No apraxia is different. No to my knowledge aphasia is a voice disorder while

apraxia is a neurological disorder.
