  • Im 14/M and im apraxic,mainly caused problems for my arms,legs,especially my fingers, also it affected my speech like many.I took physical therapy and it helped (although mine wasnt nearly bad as others, bad enough that it caused lots of problems though) growing up to this age has been hard people always making fun of how i do things or talk even though they dont understand how that feels.But i find my apraxia is also a good thing,imAn athlete and knowing im apraxic motivates me to try harder.

  • i wonder if teaching people with apraxia how to use sign language to try and communicate better would help at all?

  • wel done apraxic buddies, u r gr8

  • @Acemega234 Keep trying and don't give up! But also, fuck what everyone else thinks and forget what they say. People who don't and aren't willing to understand are the ones who merit pity, not you.

  • @LaurenAlexandra711  I have apraxia, and no. I don't really enjoy sign language, and I really just want to fucking speak without being called a fagot.

  • I agree. It is true that often time the children with this problem tend to get misdiagnosed. The neurologist, so far, has been unable to find the problem with my daughter. Now I know what to ask. It is important for us parents to know what to ask.

  • I have a daughter with special needs. SHe was born hydrocephalic. SHe has overcome her hydrocephalus and her hypertonia. However, her speech delays still perists at her 6th year of life. I hae been searching for what it could be. Thank you for the video. It has given me a possible answer. I will ask her therapist and neurologist to screen her for speech apraxia.

  • I have to thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for doing this story on Childhood Apraxia. My two 7yr. old great-nephews, have this . We live in Ontario, Canada, and do you believe, in this day and age, that Canada has NOTHING for children who have this. Please pray for my nephew & his wife as they are raising awareness up here. Thank you and God Bless You.

  • @tyilbs4 using sign language does not make them less social. they would still be attempting verbal language with people they know don't use sign language, but that can be really difficult a task, so to make them more efficient communicators in general sign language is a good option.

  • @robbsies thats called limb apraxia

  • @LaurenAlexandra711 it would help but you want the child to be socal and communicate with other people.....not all people know the sign language
