Q

Apraxia of speech

A

Impairment of the capacity to program the positioning of speech muscles and the sequencing of muscle movements for the volitional production of phonemes
Not result of weakness or discoordination

Q

Assessment for apraxia

A

Apraxia battery for adults- look for problems with coordinating and planning
