Apraxia of Speech in Children in Dubai
Apraxia of Speech in Children in Dubai is a motor speech disorder where a child has difficulty planning and coordinating the mouth movements required for speech. Although the child may know what they want to say, their brain struggles to send the correct signals to the muscles involved in speaking. Early diagnosis and expert speech therapy in Dubai can make a lasting difference.
What Is Childhood Apraxia of Speech?
Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS) is a neurological speech disorder. It is not caused by muscle weakness but by disrupted communication between the brain and speech muscles. CAS is often identified when a child begins to speak later than peers or shows inconsistent speech patterns.
Common Symptoms
Children with apraxia may experience:
-
Inconsistent sound errors
-
Difficulty imitating speech sounds
-
Groping or silent movements of the mouth
-
Monotone speech or abnormal prosody
-
Delayed expressive language skills
If your child shows any of these symptoms, it’s important to consult with a licensed speech therapist in Dubai.
