Your view as to how a child with apraxia would talk?

[Guest guest]

If you were to rewrite the following to perhaps display how a child with apraxia

may talk/not talk, how would you rewrite it?

The current Pledge of Allegiance reads:

" I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the

Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty

and justice for all. " [1]

(The sentence is standardized).

Would a child tend to stutter? display halting speech? display no speech? or

what?

well my little guy is 2.5 years old, so there's an age curve here... but even

with recent improvement this is my thought.

initially he would say nothing. he has a hard time imitating sounds and he knows

it so typically he says nothing at all. lately i've been trying my best to make

reading enjoyable and with some of the participating he's doing he can 'say' the

repetitive words. if not repetitive words, it will be the first or last in a

paragraph (if prompted by a pause).

so for us, best case scenario (after much much repetition) he would say

" I " and maybe attempt " ped " (pledge) and then wrap it up with " aww " (all) at the

very end.
