Does anyone here have any experience with having a gifted child and a child that shows any of these. (I believe that verbal apraxia and apraxia of speech are the same).
What symptoms did you see?
How much of this condition impacted giftedness or their day to day academics?
What have you done at home to help?
If your child had verbal/apraxia of speech, how severe of an affect did you see on articulation?
How was your child's ability to decode words? How was your child's ability with rote memorization in an areas such as math facts?
My child has been in speech for a while. While I do not believe apraxia is necessarily the right diagnosis, there are some apraxic tendencies. This seems to be a matter of having a square peg child that doesn't quite fit nicely into any of the round diagnostic holes out there.
thx
