[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Speech delays are often motoric.[/quote] Which is [i]still[/i] neurological: (from ASHA) What is childhood apraxia of speech? Childhood apraxia of speech (CAS) is a [b]motor speech disorder[/b]. Children with CAS have problems saying sounds, syllables, and words. This is not because of muscle weakness or paralysis. [b]The brain has problems planning to move the body parts[/b] (e.g., lips, jaw, tongue) needed for speech. The child knows what he or she wants to say, but his/her brain has difficulty coordinating the muscle movements necessary to say those words. There are few causes like environmental or physical that aren't neurologically based. [/quote]
