What is Apraxia?

Childhood apraxia of speech is a severe speech delay that makes it difficult for children to speak. 

Children with the diagnosis of apraxia of speech generally have a good understanding of language and know what they want to say. However, they have difficulty learning or carrying out the complex sequenced movements that are necessary for intelligible speech.
