Re: Can you have apraxia, and have a low IQ?

[Guest guest]

I think that testing a child (or adult) with apraxia for his/her IQ

is very misleading if the person has

more than verbal apraxia. Because apraxia is disorder that involves

an inability to sequence

motor movements on comand, I think all testing is very unreliable. I

have seen this over and

over again with my child. This leads people to think the

IQ is low - when they may be

very intelligent. This is evident when you observe them at play, or

in a more relaxed, natural

setting. I video taped my son prior to evaluations when he was a

very young so that I could

show how he could function at when he was relaxed.
