Hi

 

Here's a video that I'm sure you will appreciate.  It explains why a live person is the best way to help people with apraxia or aphasia TALK.

 

It will also help you understand why those with apraxia and aphasia will not make considerable improvement in speech therapy unless the care partner or family member learns how to help them with the apraxia first.

 

Apraxia deals with accurately producing the sounds of speech.  The Apraxia when accompanied by aphasia must be addressed first to achieve the end result of better speaking.  Neither apraxia or aphasia can or should be managed without a live speech model such as a spouse, loved one, or therapist.  (Hopefully all 3!!)

 

I hope you like this post.
