Apraxia
What is apraxia?
Children with apraxia have problems saying sounds, syllables, and words. This is not because of muscle weakness or paralysis. The brain has problems planning to move the body parts, such as lips, jaw, and tongue, needed for speech. The child knows what he or she wants to say, but the brain has difficulty coordinating the muscle movements necessary to say those words.
How can Aspire help?
Aspire’s goal is to provide quality lifetime supports to children with apraxia so they can achieve their individual highest potential where they live, learn, and grow.
