A true developmental delay is when the child is following the “typical” path, although at a slower rate than normal. In childhood #apraxia of speech, the child’s ability use expressive language thru speech is seriously deficient, absent, or unclear.

Truth. At one point E was in therapy three times a week. Early intervention and intense and frequent therapy was key. #ApraxiaAwareness #CAS
Children with #apraxia are often described as needing frequent and intensive #speechtherapy services in order to address the speech motor planning and programming issues that are at the heart of their #speech difficulty.
