apraxia

[Guest guest]

My son also has oral motor apraxia. He doesn't seem to have a problem

with knowing what to say, uses appropriate language etc...his problem

is his breathing when he talks...like he " sucks in " his breathe on

certain sounds, like " s " also leaves out the beginning sound

sometimes still....the tone of his voice is sorta different, kind of

yells out his words alittle. He gets speech therapy in school 5x

week, but only 3x are one on one.....hmmm. His speech therapist, who

was new to him last year said he had the worst case of oral motor

apraxia that she ever saw...however she doesn't think he has verbal

apraxia-(i guess no problem knowing what to say). I have never heard

of Prompt...can someone explain it to me? thanks...
