Developmental Apraxia of Speech

Abstract

DAS is a motor control problem in which the purposeful production of speech is faulty. The underlying problem affects movement control of the speech-production musculature for speech and non-speech activities. Diagnostic criteria for DAS should be based on the speech and motor control problems manifested by these children, and not other language or cognitive symptoms, even though these frequently co-occur with the apraxia. Treatment programs should be based on the development of motor skills and, as such, adhere closely to the principles of motor learning.
