There is no known cause for developmental apraxia of speech.
Testing for apraxia should employ basic screening tasks to identify individuals who do and do not require deeper testing for the differential diagnosis.
With proper treatment, apraxia can be brought under control and the person will be able to function normally as an adult.
The treatment for apraxia usually involves rehabilitation through speech-language therapy, physical therapy, or occupational therapy. In addition, treatment such as chemotherapy is administered for the condition that caused the apraxia.
A speech-language pathologist teaches exercises to a person with apraxia that will strengthen the jaws, lips, and tongue to improve coordination during speech. uses tactile, auditory, and visual feedback to direct the brain to move the muscles
