This disorder would start when you first learn to speak.

"Developmental Dyspraxia" can take several forms; ideational, verbal, or motor (or a combination). It is basically a broken wire between the speech area in the brain and the mouth. It is characterized by problems with the intent to speak, rather than automatic speech output. If it develops suddenly, it is called "Apraxia", and is a result of damage to the brain by stroke or head trauma.
"Anomia" is characterized by poor word-finding ability.
These disorders frequently co-occur.
If is a new finding, get the person to the ER immediately!
If the person has had it all their life, speech therapy will help, and it can be treated by the school speech specialist. If it is acquired, there are hospital outpatient clinics where speech pathologists treat apraxia and other acquired communicative disorders.

Word Salad - seriously! This can happen for many reasons and the length of time a person is affected varies. This is usually not seious but very frustrating. It's just a glitch in the brain and sorts itself out after a while. My daughter gets this sime times after mild seizures. Of course there are more serious reasons but they are unlikely in someone young. Look it up on the net, it would take too long to explain in good detail here and I'm a very slow typer!!! Hope you find your answer.

You might mean dyslexic speech. The dyslexia causes problems in reading. It's in the wiring (neural pathways) in both reception and expression.

Stroke people often have this problem and for the life of me I can't remember what it is called.
