Apraxia is a condition that affects a person's ability to perform learned movements. There are different types of apraxia, each affecting a different part of the body. Apraxia of speech affects a person's ability to plan and coordinate the movements of the lips, tongue, and jaw for speech.
Treatment for apraxia typically involves speech therapy, occupational therapy, or physical therapy, depending on the type of apraxia.
* Speech therapy can help improve a person's ability to plan, sequence, and produce speech sounds.
* Occupational therapy can teach a person new ways to perform daily activities that they may have difficulty with due to apraxia.
* Physical therapy can help improve a person's coordination and motor skills, which can be helpful for people with apraxia of limb movement.
In some cases, people with apraxia may also benefit from using augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) devices and strategies to help them communicate. There is no medication that can cure apraxia, but some medications may help to improve symptoms such as muscle stiffness or spasticity.
