Anyone have a child with apraxia?

Question

my 2.5 year old has been is speech therapy for about 3 months for low muscle tone of his mouth. I wonder if he has apraxia but his st said he is to young to dx with apraxia. He has one major sympton like saying a word and then not saying it for while, then it may pop out again. He also still drools, esp when he is concentrating on something, can't blow bubbles yet or pucker very good but he is making wonderful progress.

Answer 1

My cousin had apraxia and was diagnosed around Age 3 or 4. Every one thought he had autism. He had several years of speech therapy and he is now 8 years old, goes to a normal school, is in normal classes, and talks normal. He sometimes slurs his words but I think that's due to him being lazy about speaking or too excited to calm down and say them properly. Good luck!
