Afraid i may have apraxia of speech?!


Question: Afraid i may have apraxia of speech!?
so!.!.!.i'm not certain but i think i may have this little problem, apraxia!.

"Apraxia of speech, also known as verbal apraxia or dyspraxia, is a speech disorder in which a person has trouble saying what he or she wants to say correctly and consistently!. It is not due to weakness or paralysis of the speech muscles (the muscles of the face, tongue, and lips)!. The severity of apraxia of speech can range from mild to severe!."

does anyone know much about this!? i just feel like i have a hard time talking sometimes, or having my verbal speech come out 100% correctly, and i often find myself having to repeat what i say a lot!.

does anyone else have this condition or something relative!? and if so, have you gotten any "treatment" for it, whether it be speech therapy or something else!. please share with me anything you know!.

ugh, i wish i could share a voice clip of my speech/voice so you'd know what i sounded like!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Apraxia of speech is typically an acquired disorder and is due to brain injury from stroke or traumatic brain injury!.
Dyspraxia, or Developmental Apraxia, is almost always diagnosed in childhood and is accompanied by speech and language delays!.
To ease your mind, I must tell you everyone has dysfluencies from time to time in which we feel like our words are garbled or difficult to produce!. This does not mean you have apraxia; it's part of the normal spectrum of speech production!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
