Apraxia is caused by brain damage related to conditions such as head injury, stroke, brain tumor, and Alzheimer's disease. The damage affects the brain's ability to correctly signal instructions to the body.

Following brain damage/strokes it is known as apraxia. Some development psychologists use the term 'dyspraxia' when the ability to coordinate movement is never really acquired.

i dont actually know what the causes are
There is no known cause for developmental apraxia of speech.
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.
With proper treatment, apraxia can be brought under control and the person will be able to function normally as an adult.
Testing for apraxia should employ basic screening tasks to identify individuals who do and do not require deeper testing for the differential diagnosis.
There are three major types of apraxia, each of which is caused by different sites of brain damage: ideational, ideo-motor, and kinetic.
Because strokes are common causes, and African-American men are more susceptible to the development of this disease, by default this population may be at the greatest risk for this neurological disorder.

Some persons with apraxia may decide to use alternative communication systems, such as a computer that transcribes and "speaks" what a person is directing it to say.
