How to Improve:  Apraxia of Speech

Many people do not understand the intensity of what is necessary to do when pursuing speech therapy for apraxia. 

The therapist must inventory speech sounds and whether the person with apraxia can make those sounds. 

Apraxia speech therapy is about finding any sound in speech that is not produced correctly. Once those sounds are identified, the competent therapist will establish a hierarchy of those sounds that are easy or difficult to say. 

All of the vowels and sounds of speech are tested. Apraxia therapy requires the knowledge of speech sounds and how they are produced.

 Then, a strategy is to teach how the sounds are made and how to combine them to utter a word that comes out clearly.
