Tighness of oral area

[Guest guest]

I was wondering if dyarthria can be not only a weakness, but also a tightness of

the mouth? Or would that plainly be a result of verbal apraxia and or oral

apraxia?

My son can smile, show his teeth, sometimes stick tongue out (not far, not

tonguetie), no lip rou ding/kissy face, we are back to blowing bubbles with a

rounding tube (talk tools), and probably cannot lateralize tongue for speech

well, very few approximations, no L, no R..i am sure i left out a lot here.

Any thoughts?

Am i just looking at severe verbal apraxia? Our dx is va, oral apraxia and

global.

Thank you.

That's about right..My son had similar problems and he was diagnosed with severe

oral & verbal apraxia. He is now 9 y.o. and his dentist noticed that he can't

open his mouth as wide as he " should " .
