Update
An update of this entry is in progress. Smassaro24 (talk) 14:00, 15 March 2012 (UTC)

The update of this existing article on Speech Apraxia will expand and rearrange the content of the article. The proposed order of topics is: Definition, Symptoms & Characteristics, Terminology, Causes and Types, Diagnosis, Treatment. The “Causes and Types” category will contain the previous information regarding childhood, stroke-associated, and stress-induced apraxia of speech.

 * Clarify meaning

Symptoms & Characteristics
 * Utilization of vowels
 * Variable error patterns
 * Specific difficulties
 * Acoustic characteristics
 * Physiologic characteristics
 * Groping movements of articulators  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jacquelinealvarado (talk • contribs) 16:11, 2 December 2016 (UTC)

Terminology
 * “a” v. “dys” –praxia
 * Greek root word “praxis”

Causes and Types
 * Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS)
 * Motor Skill Learning
 * Brain damage
 * Stroke-associated
 * Stress-induced
 * Broca’s Aphasia

Diagnosis
 * Testing of Apraxia
 * Age of onset
 * Differential Diagnosis
 * How is Apraxia different from other speech disorders?

 * You could also use some of the research papers from these online PubMed collections Apraxia of Speech, Developmental verbal dyspraxia (DVD) / Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS), and Aphasia dolfrog (talk) 23:11, 26 April 2012 (UTC)

A Lack of research based support references tgo support content.
The Childhood Apraxia of Speech Association of North America (CASANA) and The Cherab Foundation are not internationally recognised research organisations and do not use research citations to support their content. Very good support organisations i do not doubt, but can not be usd to support content in Wikipedia Medical articles which requirr secondary (review) research citation. So I shall delete these references, and leave the organisations in the External links section. For The require research based citations you could start looking at to meet Wikipedia requirements dolfrog (talk) 09:15, 27 April 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for your input on the sources. I will take a look at the pubmed articles within the next few days. Smassaro24 (talk) 17:18, 27 April 2012 (UTC)

Suggested edits/citations
I have some suggestions for some additional well-recognised citations from our lab and others. 1) Presentation: Apraxia of speech (AOS) is a neurogenic communication disorder affecting the motor programming system for speech production.[6][7] ... Individuals with acquired AOS demonstrate hallmark characteristics of articulation and prosody (rhythm, stress or intonation) errors.[6][7] -- along with citations [6] and [7], a highly cited paper is Ballard, K.J., Granier, J., & Robin, D.A. (2000). Understanding the nature of apraxia of speech: Theory, analysis, and treatment. Aphasiology, 14, 969-995. https://doi.org/10.1080/02687030050156575

2) Diagnosis: A differential diagnosis must be used in order to rule out other similar or alternative disorders. Although disorders such as expressive aphasia, conduction aphasia, and dysarthria involve similar symptoms as apraxia of speech, the disorders must be distinguished in order to correctly treat the patients.[citation needed] -- suggest Ballard, K.J., Azizi, L., Duffy, J.R., McNeil, M.R., Halaki, M., O’Dwyer, N., Layfield, C., Scholl, D.I., Vogel, A.P., & Robin, D.A. (2016). A predictive model for diagnosing stroke-related apraxia of speech. Neuropsychologia. 81, 129-39. doi:10.1016/j.neuropsychologia.2015.12.010

3) Management: Another main theme in AOS treatment is the use of repetition in order to achieve a large number of target utterances, or desired speech usages.[citation needed] -- suggest Wambaugh JL, Nessler C, Cameron R, Mauszycki SC. Acquired apraxia of speech: the effects of repeated practice and rate/rhythm control treatments on sound production accuracy. Am J Speech Lang Pathol. 2012 May;21(2):S5-27. doi: 10.1044/1058-0360(2011/11-0102). Epub 2012 Jan 9. PMID: 22230177.

4) Management: Research about the treatment of apraxia has revealed four main categories: articulatory-kinematic, rate/rhythm control, intersystemic facilitation/reorganization treatments, and alternative/augmentative communication.[21] -- suggest adding the citation Ballard, K.J., Wambaugh, J.L., Duffy, J.R., Layfield, C., Maas, E., Mauszycki, S., & McNeil, M.R. (2015). Treatment for acquired apraxia of speech: A systematic review of intervention research between 2004 and 2012. American Journal of Speech-Language Pathology, 24, 316-337. doi:10.1044/2015_AJSLP-14-0118.
