Once apraxic, always apraxic?

[Guest guest]

My son has speech apraxia. I always viewed it as a neurological disorder.

However, after a session with his SLP the other week, she was commenting on how

much progress my son has made and if she were to see him today for the first

time, she'd diagnose him with " articulation disorder. " For one, I'm thrilled

he's improving, but I guess I thought, if apraxia is a neurological disorder

it's always with you, even though you can retrain your brain so to speak...

My SLP said there is no hard evidence to say apraxia is neurological, and you

can have it at one time but not forever. " We say it's neurological to get

insurance to pay for it " is what she told me.

Any comments?
